Marino Marini — Cavallo Negro
Marino Marini

Cavallo Negro

A bold and expressive work by Marino Marini, *Cavallo Negro* features the artist's iconic horse rendered in tempera and ink on paper mounted on canvas. The deep, commanding blacks of the figure convey both raw power and a sense of archaic monumentality, hallmarks of Marini's signature approach to the equine form. The interplay of fluid ink lines and opaque tempera creates a dynamic tension between spontaneity and deliberate, sculptural weight.
