Horse Statue

 Horse, school of Leonardo da Vinci, (1500-1550) Da Vinci spent a lot of time studying the shape and particularly also the movement of horses, one of nature's wonders, and in his opinion, nature was the mistress of all masters. He had plans to sculpt a monumental horse but only completed a clay model during his lifetime. Even during his lifetime, Da Vinci's work was determinative for the High Renaissance's art. As the one artist who always urged others to get their inspiration straight from nature and not from the works of others, he ended up having many followers who worked in his style. This statue reproduction is taken from his drawings and the drawings of his followers.
