Lot no. 22
Horse Italian manufacture, 18th-19th century 130 x 130 cm
Carved and patinated wooden sculpture, inspired by Renaissance models, in particular the Italian plastic tradition linked to the study of the horse as a heroic and celebratory subject. The slender stance, outstretched neck and anatomical synthesis recall 15th-16th century figurative culture, where the animal takes on a symbolic value of strength and nobility. The formal rendering favours the balance of proportions and verticality of the figure, with essential modelling and mane treated with rhythmic incisions. The surface has a golden-brown patina that enhances the volumes and suggests a decorative reinterpretation of Renaissance prototypes.
