LEONARDO da Vinci: Equestrian Statue

🖼 Equestrian Statue, 1516-19
Bronze, 24,3 cm
Budapest, Hungary

Bronze captures a powerful horse mid-stride, its muscular form tensed beneath an idealized rider in Renaissance armor. Leonardo's anatomical precision and dynamic composition revolutionized equestrian sculpture, merging scientific observation with classical heroic tradition.
