EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing optical illusion print, titled "Discus with Horse and Rider Performing Somersaults," dates back to 1833. The image presents a captivating visual paradox that challenges our perception of reality. At first glance, it appears to be a simple discus disc, a common ancient Greek athletic implement. However, upon closer inspection, we discover an astonishing scene unfolding within its circular borders. A rider, dressed in the attire of the era, is depicted performing a somersault atop a galloping horse. The horse's hooves seem to defy gravity as they remain suspended in mid-air, while the rider's body twists and turns in a graceful, fluid motion. The illusion is further enhanced by the inclusion of a series of concentric circles surrounding the discus, which add depth and perspective to the image. Optical illusions, such as this one, have fascinated people for centuries. They offer a glimpse into the complex and intriguing workings of the human mind, as well as a reminder of the power of perception and the importance of looking beyond the surface. This particular optical illusion, with its combination of horseback riding and somersaults, adds an element of excitement and dynamism, making it a truly mesmerizing and thought-provoking work of art. The print, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the artists of the 19th century. It serves as a reminder that even in an age before digital technology, the human imagination could still produce stunning and captivating illusions that continue to intrigue and delight us today.
