EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from 18th century Mexico - a Pair of Stirrups created by the skilled hands of Master Morales. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and embellishment of these equestrian accessories. Made entirely of iron, these stirrups not only served as functional riding equipment but also as decorative elements that reflected the rich culture and heritage of Mexico. The deep color palette brings out the intricate metalwork, highlighting the mastery with which each element was forged. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time, imagining horseback riders gracefully maneuvering through Mexican landscapes centuries ago. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago's art centre, this artifact stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance found within applied arts. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art through skillful design and meticulous execution. As we admire this pair of stirrups, let us appreciate not only their aesthetic appeal but also their role in preserving history. They offer us a glimpse into an era when horse riding played an integral part in Mexican culture and serve as a tangible link between past generations and our present-day fascination with equestrian traditions.
