Equestrian Adventures in Art

THE INVISIBLE HORSE is a long-awaited, much-needed book that speaks not only to artists and art historians who study the interpretation of equestrian imagery, but also offers valuable guidance to riders who wish to understand the mysteries hidden within equestrian artworks.

At the heart of the book are works of art depicting horses and riders, as well as the art of riding itself – yet the writing and illustrations speak of much deeper layers: the sacred past, present, and future of the relationship between horse and human. Beyond this, Dr. Szmrecsányi Veszely Beáta also guides her readers in discovering how a discerning rider can learn to appreciate contemporary art.

This book is therefore recommended as a fundamental work for anyone who loves horses and art, whose heart is open to viewing the historical role of horse and rider from a new perspective, and who enjoys admiring beautiful artworks while comparing the creations of the distant past with today’s contemporary pieces. And of course, it is also for those who wish to learn more about the world than what is revealed at first glance – for those who wish to see what is Invisible…

The next volume in the book series of the Academic Art of Riding Magyarország, with recommendations by Kassai Lajos and Oberfrank Pál, and a foreword by Boór-Gőblyös István.

Produced in high quality, 150 pages, 20 chapters, 70 colour images.
