Rearing Stallion

Severo da Ravenna

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a horse caught in mid-motion. The horse is rearing up with one front leg raised and its head turned to the side. It is crafted from a dark material, likely bronze. The color is a deep brown with slight variations. The horse stands on a rectangular, multi-tiered base. The details of the mane, tail, and muscles are intricately carved. The sculpture captures the energy and grace of the horse in motion.
