Equestrian Statue of Gattamelata
The statue of Gattamelata (Erasmo of Narni) on horseback was executed c. 1447-50. Inspired by the Statue of Marcus Aurelius in Rome, or perhaps by the Greek horses on top of the Venetian Church of St Mark's, the equestrian figure would become the prototype for many subsequent heroic monuments.
