EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Eadweard Muybridge, titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 599), we are transported back to the year 1887, a time when horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also a thrilling sport. The image captures an exhilarating sequence featuring a jockey astride his majestic steed. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness the intricate movements and coordination between man and beast as they navigate through space. The powerful muscles of the horse ripple beneath its sleek coat, showcasing its strength and grace in every stride. Meanwhile, the jockey demonstrates remarkable skill and control as he guides his mount with precision. This photograph is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it is an exploration of animal locomotion that reveals the beauty and complexity inherent in these terrestrial mammals. It reminds us of our shared connection with nature's wonders and highlights the unique bond forged between humans and animals throughout history. The portrait-like composition adds depth to this work, allowing us to glimpse into both the physical exertion required for such equestrian pursuits and the determination etched on the jockey's face. We can almost feel their adrenaline-fueled excitement radiating from within this vintage print. As we admire Muybridge's masterful craftsmanship, let us appreciate how this singular moment encapsulates not only athleticism but also dedication to one's vocation. This image serves as a testament to human ambition, reminding us that even in simpler times people pursued their passions relentlessly. Through "PDC-A-004695-0599". Muybridge invites us into an era where horses reigned supreme on land while capturing an everlasting essence of equine elegance intertwined with human endeavor – truly a timeless piece from Alinari’s collection.
