Roman chariot made of marble dust, Grand Tour, Italy, 20th century. Dimensions: 45 x 62 x 21 cm. This highly dynamic sculpture depicts a charioteer wearing a classical helmet, driving a chariot drawn by two galloping horses. The figure is rendered with vigorous modeling and tension in the manes, muscles, and harness. The composition, supported by a rectangular base with a geometric border, conveys the power and movement characteristic of 20th-century historicist representations inspired by Antiquity. The detailed anatomy and the balance between proportions and gesture evoke the influence of Roman academicism, reinterpreted in a modern style.
