The story behindDella Cavalleria is one of the most extraordinary treatises in the history of riding. The work, written by Georg Engelhard von Löhneysen, was published in Bavaria at the beginning of the 17th century and is now in the collection of Émile Hermès. It is illustrated with baroque engravings and shows several German sleighs pulled by fabulous figures and richly decorated horses. The designer plays with this and takes the extravagance even further by assembling horse bodies and chimerical monsters. Playing on the theme of games, she humorously gives one bat, yoyo or diabolo another, creating strange visual associations worthy of an exquisite corpse.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
