Augarten "Spanish Riding School - In the Posts" Figurine H23.5cm *
Description
The Spanish Riding School’s performances take place at Vienna’s Winter Riding School built by Fischer von Erlach between 1729 and 1735. Famous for its equestrian spectacles, this is where horses of the finest stock and top professional riders demonstrate haute école (“high school”) steps and movements to the strains of Mozart.Some of the most well-known exercises such as the "levade", the "courbette" and the "capriole" have been immortalized in porcelain figures created by the artists of the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory Augarten.
Probably the most difficult model – the "Capriole" – places great artistic and huge technical demands on the porcelain makers. It was the middle of the twentieth century before this model could be produced to the high quality standards for which the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory Augarten is famous.
There are eight figures in the Spanish Riding School series from the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory Augarten:
Courbette
Levade with rider
Levade without rider
Pirouette
Piaffe
Trot
In the posts
Capriole
Augarten
Vienna's first porcelain manufactory, the second in all Europe, was founded in 1718 by Claudius Innocentius du Paquier. In 1744,in the Rococo era,Empress Maria Theresa took the private company into imperial ownership.From that moment,the porcelain of the "Imperial State Manufactory Vienna" was marked with the historic Bebenberg coat of arms,the barred shield,which is still stamped on the porcelain in cobalt blue as the Augarten mark.
The“white gold” from Vienna has been lovingly moulded and shaped, glazed and painted by hand ever since; therefore every single piece of finest Augarten is unique.
What’s more, our designs and artistic values reflect our collaboration with well-known artists through the generations. This tradition is perpetuated to this day through our work with recognised designers.
Augarten is famous among leading manufactories for the whiteness of its porcelain, its fine and delicate craftsmanship and its exquisite painting.
