EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Equus Maurus (engraving)", takes us back in time to the Netherlandish era. Created by Jan van der Straet, also known as Joannes Stradanus, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of equestrianism and Arabian culture. The focal point of the image is a majestic Moorish horse, its powerful physique exuding grace and strength. The rider atop the steed skillfully holds a whip, symbolizing their control over this magnificent creature. Together they create an awe-inspiring sight that showcases the deep connection between man and horse. In the background, we are treated to a breathtaking landscape featuring a fortified town. This juxtaposition of nature's beauty with human architecture adds depth to the composition while hinting at tales of adventure and exploration. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, it becomes evident that every stroke of Van der Straet's engraving was meticulously crafted. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line seems purposeful in capturing not just the physicality but also the spirit of both horse and rider. This enchanting scene invites us to imagine ourselves galloping alongside them through vast landscapes or embarking on daring quests within fortified towns. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to evoking emotions and transporting us into different worlds.
