Rearing Horse

Material: Bronze. Dims: H20.5 x W12 x D23. Accession no: MG 037 Current Location: [The Hunt Museum,](https://www.huntmuseum.com/) [Limerick.](https://www.geonames.org/7778675/limerick-city.html). This is a cast bronze rearing horse on a marble plinth, reputedly from a cast by Leonardo Da Vinci. It is one of four similar horses. Of the three others, one is in the [Metropolitan Museum in New York](https://www.metmuseum.org/), the second in the [Szepmuveszeti Museum](https://www.mfab.hu/), Budapest, and the third in the Jeannerat Collection, London. Whether this horse was cast from a scaled-up clay model in [Florence](http://www.geonames.org/3176959/florence.html), or modelled in the [Milan](http://www.geonames.org/3173435/milan.html) workshop of the sculptor Pompeo Leoni (who owned the drawings of Leonardo towards the end of the 16th century) is debatable.[More](https://www.huntmuseum.com/explore/item/c65b8777-1cdc-379d-b339-beed58b3f609/?s%3Dvinci&pos=1).
