EDITORS COMMENTS
by Philips Wouwerman, created around 1660, is a captivating piece of art that transports viewers to the vibrant world of equestrian training in the 17th century. This exquisite print from the Liszt Collection beautifully captures Wouwerman's mastery in depicting both human and equine figures with remarkable precision and attention to detail. In this scene, we are immersed in a bustling riding school where riders elegantly guide their majestic horses through various exercises. The artist skillfully portrays the dynamic movement of these magnificent creatures as they leap over obstacles or trot gracefully under their riders' command. Each horse seems to possess its own unique personality, captured through subtle nuances in posture and expression. Wouwerman's meticulous brushwork brings life to every element within the composition - from the intricately patterned saddles and bridles to the richly textured walls of the riding arena. The play of light and shadow further enhances our perception of depth and adds an ethereal quality to this enchanting artwork. As we gaze upon "The Riding School" we can almost hear the rhythmic sound of hooves hitting against soft sand, feel the anticipation building among both riders and spectators alike. It serves as a testament not only to Wouwerman's technical prowess but also his ability to evoke emotions within us. This print is truly a treasure for any lover of fine art or history enthusiast seeking a glimpse into an era when horsemanship was considered an essential skill for nobility
