The Duke of Newcastle's Riding School: Six Plate is a notable series of engravings by the Flemish artist Lucas II Vorsterman, created in the mid-17th century. Vorsterman, who was an accomplished engraver and a prominent figure in the Baroque art movement, produced these works under the patronage of William Cavendish, the 1st Duke of Newcastle. Cavendish, an English nobleman, was an avid horseman and a significant figure in the development of classical dressage. His treatise on horsemanship, "La Méthode et Invention nouvelle de Dresser les Chevaux," published in 1658, served as the basis for Vorsterman's engravings.

The series consists of six detailed plates that illustrate various aspects of the Duke's riding school and his innovative methods of training horses. Each plate meticulously captures the elegance and precision of the equestrian techniques promoted by Cavendish, reflecting both the artistic skill of Vorsterman and the advanced horsemanship practices of the period. The engravings are not only significant for their artistic merit but also for their historical value, providing insight into 17th-century equestrian practices and the cultural importance of horse training among the European aristocracy.

Vorsterman's work is characterized by its intricate detail and dynamic composition, which effectively convey the movement and grace of the horses. The engravings also highlight the elaborate attire and equipment used in the Duke's riding school, offering a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the era. The collaboration between Vorsterman and Cavendish resulted in a series that is both a technical manual and a work of art, bridging the gap between practical instruction and aesthetic appreciation.

The Duke of Newcastle's Riding School: Six Plate remains a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, exemplifying the intersection of art, culture, and sport in the Baroque period. The series is preserved in various collections and continues to be studied for its contribution to the history of equestrian art and its reflection of the social and cultural milieu of 17th-century Europe.
