Biographies:
Crispin de Passe II (c.1594-1670) was the son of Crispijn de Passe I (q.v.); born in Cologne and followed his father to Utrecht; from 1617/8 spent much time in Paris, where he worked on Pluvinal’s ‘Maneige Royal’. Returned to Utrecht 1629. After his father’s death in 1637, moved to Amsterdam in 1639 taking family firm with him. From 1640s increasingly publishing broadsides.
Antoine de Pluvinel (1555-1620) was a master horseman. Taught Louis XIII to ride. Many of his principles are still used today in the training of horses and riders in upper-level dressage. His teachings were compiled posthumously in ‘Le Manege Royal’, 1623, and in ‘L’Instruction Du Roy En L’Exercice De Monter A Cheval’, 1625.
