Donatello - Benjamin Georgeaud
Bronze - 1/8 - 78 x 48 x 23 cm
With Donatello , Benjamin Georgeaud presents a striking sculpture celebrating the elegance and quiet strength of a horse. This finely sculpted bust captures the nobility and power of the horse, an animal that embodies freedom and mastery of nature.
In this work, Georgeaud explores the texture of the skin and the underlying musculature with meticulous precision, creating a sense of life that seems almost palpable. The slightly inclined head expresses a quiet grace, and the half-closed eyes radiate a quiet wisdom. The details of the fur are engraved with a technical mastery that evokes the movement of the muscles beneath the skin, giving the sculpture an impressive realism while maintaining a certain abstraction.
The use of natural materials and textures adds extra depth to the work, reinforcing the connection between the artist and his subject. The horse, although static, seems to be breathing, ready to come to life at any moment. It is in this tension between movement and stillness that lies all of Donatello 's expressive power.
This sculpture doesn't just depict a horse; it embodies the animal's very spirit. It captures the essence of the relationship between man and nature, between artistic mastery and the raw beauty of the wild. Donatello is an invitation to contemplate the timeless beauty and majesty of one of humanity's most faithful companions, offering a powerful and calming presence to any space he occupies.
