EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "View of a Tournament School," dates back to the 18th century and was created by an anonymous artist, known only as Anon. The image transports us back in time to an indoor training facility for knights and noblemen, where men on horseback honed their horsemanship skills and practiced archery. The Dutch and German Low Countries, likely in the Netherlands or Germany, served as the location for this tournament school. The architectural features of the arena are prominently displayed, with balconies and balconies lining the walls, providing vantage points for spectators to watch the action below. The men, dressed in the fashion of the time, focus intently on their targets, some using cardboard cutouts as markers. Horses stand patiently, their coats glistening with a sheen of sweat from the exertion of practice. The artist, Georg Balthasar Probst, masterfully captures the energy and intensity of the scene, using watercolor paints to bring the image to life. The etching also serves as a testament to the importance of education and training in the 18th century, where horsemanship and archery were essential skills for men of the nobility. This rare glimpse into the past offers a unique perspective on the daily life and traditions of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any art or history collection.
