1658 Demonstrates Dressage New Castle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures a pivotal moment in the history of equestrianism as the Duke of Newcastle demonstrates the Caprioles par Le Droite at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1658. The Duke, dressed in elegant attire fitting for the aristocracy of the time, sits confidently atop his horse, his posture and grip reflecting the mastery and control required for this daring maneuver. The Caprioles par Le Droite, or Caprioles to the right, was a complex and impressive riding technique that involved the horse jumping sideways and then leaping back to the ground with all four feet in the air, repeating the sequence several times. This demanding dance between rider and horse was a popular spectacle during the Renaissance period, showcasing the skill, artistry, and affluence of its performers. The Duke of Newcastle, a prominent figure in English society during the late 17th century, was a passionate horseman and an accomplished equestrian. His demonstration of the Caprioles par Le Droite at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was undoubtedly an awe-inspiring event, attracting the attention of the local populace and travelers alike. This photographic print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horsemanship was an essential aspect of nobility and the Caprioles par Le Droite was a testament to the extraordinary bond between rider and horse. The intricate details of the Duke's attire, the horse's pristine coat, and the lush green landscape in the background all contribute to the authenticity and allure of this historical image.
