EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 582. Walking; Saddle; Rider, 43, Nude; Light-Gray Horse Smith" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" from 1887, which revolutionized the study of movement through sequential photography. In this particular frame, we witness a mesmerizing scene of a nude rider atop a light-gray horse. The rider exudes confidence and grace as they skillfully guide their mount forward in an elegant walking motion. The contrast between the rider's bare skin and the majestic animal creates a striking visual juxtaposition that adds depth to the composition. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of this print. From the texture of the horse's coat to the subtle play of light and shadow on both subjects, he masterfully brings this moment to life even though it was captured over a century ago. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's technical prowess but also his contribution to scientific research. Through his pioneering efforts in stop-motion photography, he provided invaluable insights into animal locomotion that continue to inspire artists and scientists alike. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's enduring legacy and remains an iconic representation of early motion picture sequences capturing human-animal
