Artist
Johann Elias Ridinger
Medium
Mixed Media - Copperplate Engraving
Description
Johann Elias Ridinger (16 February 1698 - 10 April 1767, Augsburg) was a German painter, engraver, draughtsman and publisher. He is considered one of the most famous German engravers of animals, particularly horses, hounds and hunting scenes.[1] He began his training in Ulm with the painter Christoph Resch (1701-16), and later studied under Johann Falch (1687-1727) in Augsburg. He learned the art of engraving from Georg Philipp Rugendas.[2] On the invitation of Wolf, Freiherr von Metternich (1706-31), he spent three years in Regensburg: his coursing and visits to the riding school there proved decisive for his development. His engraved, etched and scratched sheets show the animals in characteristic movements and positions in a landscape environment. The ornamental movements in his works show visibly Rococo stylistic tendencies.[3] He later founded his own art publishing house in Augsburg, where most of his works appeared. In 1759 he became the director of the Augsburg Stadtakademie. His drawings were often executed with precision and taste and hence his work was held in high esteem and was also transferred to decoration, porcelain and ceramics. This engraving depicts an 18th century man riding a horse. Behind the rider and the horse is a scalloped edged wall and trees.
The French title La Croupe a la muraille a gauche translates in English to The back of wall, and to the left. It is also titled at the bottom in German and Latin. This engraving is in good condition.
