Isabelle Veauvy & Adélaide de Savray - Cavalières Amazon - Lot 97
Isabelle Veauvy & Adélaide de Savray - Cavalières Amazones From the mythical ancient warrior, whose name gradually became that of a refined equitation to its peak in the 19th century, we accompany the Amazon on her historical and artistic ride - a field in which she has touched the greatest, from Greek art to Velasquez, Rubens, de Dreux, Munnings, Toulouse-Lautrec and more.
Retracing the singular history of these intrepid riders and agile horsewomen who brilliantly took advantage of the technical challenge of getting into the saddle, this book, richly illustrated with iconography often never seen before and photographs by Marc Walter, is also a journey into the world of vénerie and the evolution of fashions in women's equestrian costume, whose forms continue to inspire designers from the most prestigious haute couture houses.
