專家說明

When Leo Planiscig wrote about this bronze in his monograph on Riccio, he included it among the numerous variants that were all ultimately dependent upon the superb autograph bronze which is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum (Planiscig, loc. cit.). That bronze has an almost identical figure, but a different, proportionally larger, horse. The model of the horse evident here is based upon the famous Horses of San Marco, thought to have been in Venice from the year 1204.

Although questions about the age of the horse in this horse and rider group have been raised subsequent to discussion by Planiscig and Pope-Hennessy, it is only more recently that the riders of this and other examples have also been queried. It is now felt that the present bronze is among the aftercasts of the Victoria and Albert bronze that were produced by the dealer Frédéric Spitzer in the later nineteenth century.
