About the Item

Set of 5 Antique Horse Riding Prints – Equestrian Training Scenes, c.1680 This rare set of five copper engravings, published circa 1680, presents finely detailed scenes of equestrian training and horsemanship, a subject of great cultural and aristocratic importance in the 17th century. The prints depict mounted figures, horse trainers, and riders engaged in classical riding exercises, many of which were associated with military training as well as the courtly art of dressage. Each scene highlights different aspects of horsemanship: mounted groups in open courtyards, trainers working horses with long reins, and riders maneuvering horses in controlled environments. The compositions are dynamic and illustrative, capturing both the elegance and discipline of equestrian practice during the Baroque period. The detailed rendering of architecture, costumes, and the horses themselves provides a window into late 17th-century training methods, when riding academies flourished across Europe and horsemanship was regarded as an essential noble skill. The engravings are executed with precision, showing the muscular form of the horses and the grace of their movements. They were likely intended as instructional or illustrative plates, emphasizing the refinement of equestrian art. Sets such as these were prized by aristocratic patrons who valued both the utility and the decorative appeal of finely engraved equestrian imagery. Collectors of horse art, military history, and Baroque engravings will find this set particularly appealing, as complete groups of equestrian training scenes are increasingly rare on the market. Condition report: Overall fair to good condition with signs of age. Some toning and light spotting consistent with 17th-century prints, minor edge wear, and small tears to margins, none affecting the main image. Plate marks visible. Framing tips: The five prints would display impressively as a unified set, either in a single large frame with custom matting or in individual matching frames with wide off-white mats to create cohesion. Dark wooden or black frames would enhance the rich engraving tones. Technique: Copper engraving Maker: Anonymous, published circa 1680
