AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large Bronze Sculpture on Marble Base – Warrior Centaur with Shield and Sword – Classical/Mythological Style

Description
Up for auction, a magnificent bronze sculpture (dark patina) depicting a centaur in a battle-ready pose. The work captures the brutal power and nobility of the mythical creature, portrayed in a moment of great dynamism and muscular tension.

Artistic Details
Subject: The centaur is depicted with an upright human torso and a proud expression, almost a war cry. He grips a circular shield richly decorated with repoussé motifs (swirls/friezes) and a raised short sword, ready to strike.

Workmanship: The level of detail is remarkable, visible in the anatomical definition of both the human part and the horse, as well as in the rendering of the mane and the lush tail.

Base: The sculpture rests on a solid oval base in veined black marble, which provides stability and prestige to the piece.

Dimensions
Total height: about 32 cm.

Base length: about 22 cm.
