Fraught with incredible detail and form, the horses' individually rippling muscles, flared nostrils and strong jaw are all captured in this stunning classic. Artist Canova, the founder of the Neoclassicist school, was unparalleled as a sculptor of stunning accuracy. Cast in quality designer resin, finished in a faux verdigris bronze and set atop a museum mount, this two-foot-tall is exclusive is a historic addition to home or gallery.
It is beautiful, elegant, even. Modelled after a massive model Canova made for a piazza in Naples (never completed). It is about 2' tall/long. Not as glossy as the photo. Only down side is that it comes with no instructions and I don't know if I correctly adjusted the support rod so that it appears he is standing and not floating. He feels a bit wobbly.. Germoglio.
