Single Figurine Horse "Maestoso"

The "Maestoso Horse, White" sculpture is a famous work by one of the most significant sculptors of the 20th century. Known for his lifelike animal sculptures, Erich Oehme devoted himself particularly to horse sculptures between 1935 and 1952. His models were always famous horses from the breeding and dressage worlds. The expressive "Maestoso Horse, White" sculpture is modeled after a Lipizzaner. The horse's temperament is evident in its movement, which poses a challenge for the sculptor. The "Maestoso Horse" rears up powerfully, its front legs raised and its head proudly held high. This dynamic pose makes the energy and temperament of the Lipizzaner immediately palpable. Particularly impressive is the interplay between the muscularly sculpted body, the delicate legs, and the flowing mane and tail, which lend the sculpture dynamism and vitality. The sculpture is a true masterpiece of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory's extraordinary craftsmanship.
