Carousel Cavalerie Dummy Ecole Exercise Francois Horseriding Joust Lance Pistol Rider Ring Spalart


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from Francois Robichon de La Gueriniere's "Ecole de Cavalerie" published in 1730, depicts a rider engaging in intricate carousel exercises with a lance, sword, and pistol. The rider, dressed in the elegant attire of the medieval period, sits confidently in the saddle, his eyes focused intently on the ring and dummy head before him. The carousel, a popular equestrian training apparatus during the Middle Ages, consists of a series of circular hoops suspended from a pole, which the rider must spear with his lance while galloping at a steady pace. The rider's dexterity and skill are on full display as he maneuvers his horse through the complex sequence of movements, each requiring precision, timing, and control. The sword and pistol, which hang from the rider's belt, serve as additional training tools, allowing him to hone his combat skills while riding. The dummy head, a common target in jousting practice, is positioned at the end of the ring, providing a challenging target for the rider to strike. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages," offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of medieval equestrian training. The intricate details of the rider's attire, the realistic depiction of the horse and equipment, and the dynamic composition of the image make this a truly captivating work of art.
