About the Item
Fernando Botero
1932-2023 Colombian
Horse with Saddle
Signed "Botero 2/6" on back right
Bronze with brown patina
Representing one of Fernando Botero's most celebrated sculptural subjects, Horse with Saddle exemplifies the Colombian master's extraordinary ability to transform classical forms through his exaggerated volume and proportion aesthetic. Cast in 1995 during the height of Botero's sculptural maturity, this bronze is a testament to the artist's mastery of three-dimensional form and his profound understanding of one of his favorite muses: the horse.
The sculpture is a magnificent study in simplified yet monumental form, where Botero's signature inflation technique transforms the subject into an icon of strength and serenity. The horse's muscular haunches and rounded barrel create a sense of contained power, while the elegantly arched neck and alert ears convey timeless nobility. The meticulously detailed saddle with decorative stitching and hardware demonstrates Botero's attention to Colombia's traditional craftsmanship. The uniform brown patina enhances the bronze's sculptural volumes, creating subtle tonal variations, perfectly exemplifying Botero's sculptural genius.
Botero achieved unprecedented international recognition as Latin America's most celebrated living artist, with his sculptures representing the pinnacle of his artistic achievement. Beginning his sculptural practice in the 1960s after studying the Renaissance masters in Italy, Botero became so devoted to three-dimensional work that he temporarily abandoned painting entirely from 1976 to 1977. His bronze sculptures consistently command the highest prices in his market, with three of his four auction records achieved by monumental bronzes. Museums worldwide house his equestrian sculptures, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, while public installations grace international locations from Singapore to Barcelona. As a master of 20th century art, Botero's work bridges traditional and contemporary sensibilities.

Fernando Botero
Fernando Botero Angulo was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor, born in Medellín in 1932. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo," depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece.
Botero was for years considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Self-appointed "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, Botero came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. He began creating sculptures after moving to Paris in 1973, achieving international recognition with exhibitions across the world by the 1990s. His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors.
In 2012, Botero received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.

Girardon’s Equestrian Portrait of Louis XIV
Located in New Orleans, LA
King Louis XIV, one of France's greatest monarchs, sits confidently astride a prancing steed in this bronze equestrian statue. The extraordinary work is a reduction of the portrait of the Sun King by François Girardon, one of the most noted and influential sculptors of the period. Looking back to the great masterpieces of antiquity, Girardon took his inspiration from the seminal ancient Roman marble of Marcus Aurelius, now in the Musei Capitoline (Rome). Louis XIV is thus portrayed here as a conquering Roman hero, his costume adorned with many neoclassical motifs, hand outstretched in a gesture of command. The result is an imposing royal portrait of power and absolute authority that pays homage to one of the most important sovereigns in French history.
It was in 1685, at the very height of his rule, when Louis XIV commissioned the monumental bronze of himself from the great Girardon. As sculptor to the king, Girardon was a key figure in the decoration of the gardens at the Château de Versailles, and he was later commissioned to complete several important royal...
