Terracotta Horse by G. Doric

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Sculpture in glazed and enamelled terracotta of bluish grey white color.

It is a very beautiful revisit representing one of the Horses of Marly held by its groom.
Originally, this sculpture in Carrara marble, made between 1740 and 1745, adorned the watering troughs of the Château de Marly.

Now on display at the Louvre, this work depicts a rearing, spirited horse struggling with his groom, his body tense with effort.

The stallion, mane tousled and nostrils dilated, struggles to escape the man's grip.
He struggles to control the animal by holding it by its reins. The equine struggles with fury in an impetuous fight.

The sculptor renders this confrontation with vitality and we note in particular the strength of the expression of the movements.

Period : XXth century - Modern Art
Dimensions : Height : 33cm x Width : 25,5cm
Signature : G doric on the terrace

The modern sculpture is the art of working a material in order to shape an artistic work.

It is a revolutionary sculpture that cut short previous traditions to anchor itself in the present.
Chronologically, modern sculpture took its place in the art world towards the end of the 19th century with the work of Auguste Rodin inspired by the work of Michelangelo.

Modern sculpture can be defined as the conceptual art of bringing sculpture to life where the imaginary becomes form.

Modern sculptors are artists in their own right. Their works are increasingly autonomous, authentic and non-conformist.

The development of technology has allowed craftsmen-sculptors to innovate their activities, they are no longer limited in the materials or techniques they use.

Imbued with realism and strength, this work signed G Doric, attracts us by its uniqueness and its noble appearance.
