{"product_id":"ridinger-scuola-equitazione-2","title":"From Johann Elias Ridinger - Riding School","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe subject of the equestrian monument, or the man on horseback, has very ancient origins. It dates back to the classical world, and the oldest example is the \"Rampin Rider,\" a masterpiece of archaic Greece. Equestrian monuments were of fundamental importance to Roman art, including from a political perspective. Generally, they are sculptures in the round, but there are also cases where this subject appears on painted supports or genre prints. The theme of the man on horseback has pervaded the entire history of art, not only Western art, and has become a focus of research for contemporary artists such as Marino Marini, Arturo Martini, and Aligi Sassu.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e \nThe print was created with a noble didactic purpose, and for this reason its execution is expressed in a refined drawing that depicts every detail with meticulous precision. The author perfectly depicts both the clothing and the trappings, as well as every single element of the vegetation and landscape. There is a conventional and idealized quality, typical of this type of illustration. This idealization can be seen in the statuesque forms of the horse and rider and their stately poses. The shadows were created with extremely fine hatching and, nevertheless, lend a certain vitality to the illustration. The hand-colored coloring adds value to this already remarkable work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe engraving was taken from Johann Elias Redinger, born in Ulm in 1698 and died in Augsburg in 1767. He was a renowned engraver specializing in animal reproductions, equestrian groups, and hunting scenes. He stood out for his excellent didactic realism and the refinement of his illustrative technique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Santagiuliana Denny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215734157698,"sku":"DSAN0016","price":300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-1031.jpg?v=1768428639","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ridinger-scuola-equitazione-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
