Old plaster horse 'San Marco Basilica' Venice

1950 €


Old plaster cast depicting a horse head of one of the 'San Marco' basilica horses in Venice. The plaster cast dates from the 1950s and was made in the well known plaster workshop of the 'Cinquantenaire' museum in Brussels Belgium. The Horses of Saint Mark (Italian: Cavalli di San Marco), also known as the Triumphal Quadriga or Horses of the Hippodrome of Constantinople, is a set of bronze statues of four horses, originally part of a monument depicting a quadriga (a four-horse carriage used for chariot racing). The horses were placed on the façade, on the loggia above the porch, of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, northern Italy, after the sack and looting of Constantinople in 1204. They remained there until looted by Napoleon in 1797 but were returned in 1815. The sculptures have been removed from the façade and placed in the interior of St Mark's for conservation purposes, with replicas in their position on the loggia.
