  • Anthony Van Dyck's Equestrian Portraits of Charles I
    CUJAH MENU Anthony van Dyck’s Equestrian Portraits of Charles I Alena Buis was born and raised in North Delta, British Columbia. She is currently in her fourth year of studies in Art History at Concordia University. Ms. Buis has been horseback riding since the age of fve and has learned a great deal from both her two legged instructors and four legged friends. Ms. Buis hopes to continue her education in art history and equestrianism. “…where the horse serves only as a grand base for the elevation of the ruler” [1]. “No animal is more noble than the horse, since it is by horses that princes, magnates and knights are separated from lesser people, and because a lord can- not fttingly be seen among private citizens except through the mediation of a horse” [2]. Since early mythology, horses have been associated with great rulers. Welsh and Celtic legends revered white horses as sacred and only to be ridden by royalty. Horsemanship was associated with virtue and courage, which were essential qualities in a ruler. The depiction of mounted emperors in An- cient Rome were to be understood as visual assertions of temporal power. The potency of the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, on Rome’s Capitoline Hill, was enhanced when the Catholic Church appropriated it during its sixteenth- century renovations of the area [3]. In seventeenth-century England, King Charles I was depicted within the same imperial tradition as Marcus Aurelius [4].
