The Tourney - Original Etching Late 18° Century

Late 18th Century

About the Item

The Tourney is an original print realized by Anonymous artist at the end of XVIII century (about 1760). Titled below "Vue des jeux Tournois dans le Sup be Manege de son ASM le Duc de Baviere". Mixed colored engraving hand colored. Good conditions except for some stains on paper. Include passepartout: 41.6 x 52.5 This kind of artwork is known as optical views, a particular kind of prints, which, if viewed through a specific device called zograscope or "optical box", give the illusion of relief and accented perspective. They were created and mainly diffused in the second half of the 18th century. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there were many popular specialty establishments in Paris, Augsburg, and London which produced optical viewing devices and special engravings to be viewed through them. They are usually etched and invariably designed to be seen through a viewing machine, with consequent reversals of text and image. They often show monumental buildings (palaces, churches or town halls) or characteristic parts of towns. More rarely they show portraits, depict moralistic or biblical themes, or historical events. This print represents a very detailed scene: a horse-drawn tournament organized inside the stables of the Duke of Bavaria. The jockeys and the horses are meticulously rendered; on the balconies, the spectators watch the competition.
