Bring timeless sophistication to your space with the Stradanus Collection, a curated set of eight equestrian engravings hand-finished in the Reprotique watercolor technique. These 16th-century illustrations, rich in historical depth and artistic finesse, are reproduced from the original works commissioned by Don John of Austria and created by Flemish master Jan van der Straet, later court painter to the Medicis.
Each horse is captured in motion—rearing, trotting, and galloping—set against naturalistic landscapes that echo the grandeur of Renaissance equestrian portraiture. These dynamic forms became a model for classical art, and their legacy lives on in this finely reproduced collection.
Perfect for interior designers and art-conscious homeowners, this set adds depth, movement, and heritage to any space. The neutral tones and expressive compositions complement both traditional and modern interiors, making them ideal focal points in living rooms, libraries, offices, or hallways.
