Bronze "le Colleone" After Verrocchio - Late 19th Century

Beautiful proof in bronze with medal patina representing the Condottiere Bartolomeo Colleoni. Originally this bronze equestrian statue stands on the Campo dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, opposite the Basilica of San Zanipolo. It is the work of the Florentine sculptor Andrea Del Verrochio who worked there from 1483 to 1488, and of Alessandro Leopardi, who cast it after his death. This 40 cm bronze is of the most beautiful effect. The charismatic rider with a haughty bearing stands upright on his mount. Its finely chiseled armor is highlighted. He wears a light-reflecting helmet. This work is a perfect testimony to the past. Its presence attracts attention and will seduce lovers of Venetian art. ******** Period: Late 19th century Excellent condition.
