EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman on Rearing Horse" takes us back to the 16th century, where an unknown creator skillfully captures a moment frozen in time. The image showcases a powerful woman confidently riding a majestic horse, her arm raised in a commanding gesture. The engraving technique used adds depth and detail to every line, highlighting the beauty of this Italian masterpiece. Formerly attributed to Enea Vico but now recognized as the work of an anonymous artist, this portrait exudes elegance and strength. The woman's profile is striking against the cut-out background, emphasizing her gracefulness as she sits atop the rearing horse. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this artwork as part of their collection. It belongs to a series known as "Ex Antiquis Cameorum" which further enhances its historical significance. Philippe Thomassin later engraved his own version based on Battista Franco's original work. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to another era - one filled with adventure and mystery. We can only wonder about the story behind this enigmatic woman and her connection with such a magnificent creature. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and our fascination with horses throughout history.
