EDITORS COMMENTS
A Stirring Spectacle at Astley's Amphitheater, Paris (1800) This evocative print captures the thrilling atmosphere of Astley's Amphitheater in Paris during the early 19th century. The indoor equestrian arena, a marvel of its time, was a popular entertainment venue that drew large crowds from all walks of life. In this image, we see a packed house filled with an animated audience, their eyes fixed on the ring where a daring horseman performs a routine. The man on horseback, dressed in a red jacket and white breeches, expertly executes a series of jumps and maneuvers, eliciting gasps and cheers from the onlookers. The amphitheater itself is a sight to behold, with its grand architecture and ornate decorations. The high arches and columns create an impressive backdrop, while the ring in the center is surrounded by a raised seating area that accommodates the audience. The print, created by renowned English artist Thomas Rowlandson, offers a glimpse into the world of Astley's Amphitheater, a place where the thrill of the equestrian performances transcended national boundaries and captivated the imagination of people from all corners of the world. Astley's Amphitheater, located in Paris, was a branch of the famous British equestrian troupe, but this print does not focus on the company itself, instead highlighting the excitement and energy that filled the arena each time the doors opened to the public.
