About the Item

An impressive and intricately detailed Italian 19th century Alabaster statue of a horse and bull in battle. This fierce scene of a horse being gored by a bull displays a powerful and majestic clash between two magnificent beasts. The details of the mane and tail of the horse showcase the action and movement, while the detailed muscles in the neck of the bull prove evident that power has overtaken majesty. Wonderful and intricate attention to detail throughout.

Located in West Palm Beach, FL
A very handsome Italian 19th century white Carrara marble statue of Theseus and the Minotaur. The statue is raised on an oval base with the Minotaur lying in defeat as Theseus is poised to strike the monster. The story of Theseus and the Minotaur has many renditions, one of them is the following: King Minos of Crete had conquered the Athenians and demanded that, at nine-year intervals, seven Athenian boys and seven Athenian girls were to be sent to Crete to be devoured by the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull that dwelt in the Labyrinth created by Daedalus.
