A Triumph

North Italian 15th or 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts several figures riding horses in a scene that appears to be either a procession or a battle. The riders show movement and action, with some wearing helmets. The material of the sculpture is bronze, giving it a brownish-golden hue. The relief is highly detailed, with distinct horses and riders against a backdrop of leafy branches. The artwork is rectangular in shape and appears to serve a historical or decorative purpose. Its compact size and attention to detail indicate it was designed for close viewing to appreciate the craftsmanship.
