Beautiful Antique Spanish Stallion Elegant Poster
"Hispanus" - Beautiful wall art / poster reproduced from an Elegant Old Engraving - Galloping Spanish stallion. Reproduction of a 16th century engraving from one of the greatest illustrated horse books of all time. The book was called Equile, and it depicts horses from the extraordinary stables of Don Juan of Austria, the Governor-General of the Netherlands. Don Juan of Austria was the illegitimate son of Charles the fifth and a half-brother to Philip the Second, King of Spain and the Netherlands. It was Don Juan who led the Spanish troops to their decisive victory against the Ottoman Empire at the famous Battle of Lepanto in 1571. He later became Governor-General of the Netherlands, and it was there that he began to assemble an extraordinary collection of horses from all the regions of Europe. Don Juan invited a well known artist of the time - Jan van der Straet - known by his Latin name -- Stradanus to draw portraits of the stallions in his stables. The top Dutch engravers of that time worked from Stradanus's drawings to create the engravings for the book.

Creator Review
I am just delighted with the quality of the Archival Heavyweight Paper which is the pefect paper for the antique image prints and vintage illustrations in our shop. The heavy weight and fine feeling of this paper instantly elevates your poster to the level of a gift - even when unframed. The printing is excellent. This poster comes from our own shop and was ordered for ourselves and as a test. We couldn't be more pleased. Some photos are included below just after the poster was taken out of the tube (so still lightly rolled at edges!). Beautiful print quality! I've included a close up of a detail so that you can see how fine it looks. Beautifully done. I am so pleased!

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!
