Cavaliere
A powerful bronze sculpture by Marino Marini, *Cavaliere* depicts a rider astride a horse in Marini's characteristically bold and expressive style. The simplified, archetypal forms evoke both ancient equestrian traditions and a raw, primitive vitality, with the figure and animal rendered as inseparable, unified forms. The rich patina of the bronze enhances the work's tactile, weighty presence, reflecting Marini's lifelong fascination with the horse and rider as a symbol of humanity's fragile relationship with fate and nature.
