Material: Bronze. Dims: H20.5 x W12 x D23. Accession no: MG 037 Current Location: The Hunt Museum, [Limerick. 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, the second in the Szepmuveszeti Museum, Budapest, and the third in the Jeannerat Collection, London. Whether this horse was cast from a scaled-up clay model in Florence, or modelled in the Milan workshop of the sculptor Pompeo Leoni (who owned the drawings of Leonardo towards the end of the 16th century) is debatable.
