Dalmata

Filippo Bonanomi

SCULPTURE: “Dalmata” marble and brushed brass
SIZE (cm): L 55 W 30 H 75

Elegant and proud, the horse has always meant valor and strength. His powerful musculature has accompanied man on feats and adventures, sealing an eternal bond. 

The combination of essential lines and marble dichroisms pays homage to the figure of the steed referring to the practice of chess, playing ground and battlefield. This decorative sculpture is therefore the greatest tribute to the horse, sealing its importance and charm in metal and marble. A sheet of metal recalls the muzzle and by bending it suggests the thick horsehair. 

The equestrian head rests on a marble cube that gives it a chromatic connotation and raises it focusing admiration and curiosity on the composition.
