EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Passage to the Left against the Wall" and "The Courvette etc" two remarkable oil paintings by Thomas Butler. Created around 1750, these masterpieces measure an impressive 210x70 cm and are held in a private collection. The attribution of these works is often associated with Butler, who was active during the mid-18th century in Pall Mall. Inspired by drawings from John Vanderbank's publication "25 Actions of the Manage Horse" in 1729, these paintings beautifully capture horsemanship and fashionable costume of their time. The rococo framing adds an elegant touch to the overall composition. Intriguingly, this artwork combines elements of trompe l'oeil technique, creating a visual illusion that transports viewers into a stable setting where equestrian mastery takes place. The tricorn hats worn by the figures further enhance the sense of sophistication and style. "The Passage to the Left against the Wall" and "The Courvette etc" offer a glimpse into an era when dressage exercises were highly esteemed among aristocrats. These paintings not only depict skilled riders but also evoke a sense of grandeur through their detailed execution. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Butler's exceptional talent while immersing themselves in English equestrian history from centuries ago.
