GREEK BRONZE HORSE

This horse figurine is part of a well-known series of geometric-style bronze horses created by Greek bronze casters during the 8th century BC.
This is the time when artistic forms, whether graphic or plastic, are expressed through the schematism of figures borrowed from geometry.
In this case, like the vase painters who combine their variations on the themes of meanders, triangles and diamonds, the bronze workers adapt the living figures to an aesthetic canon which gives pride of place to geometric forms - but Although it happens that human figures suffer somewhat from this treatment, horses cope with it with great happiness.
