Description:
|
|
Marini is particularly famous for his series of stylized equestrian statues; this theme appeared in his work in 1936. At first the proportions of horse and rider are slender and both are "poised, formal, and calm." By the next year the horse is depicted rearing and the rider gesturing. In the artist's final work, seen in the Miracolo series, the rider is unseated as the horse falls to the ground in an "apocalyptic image of lost control" which parallels Marini’s growing despair for the future of the world.
