“Donatello” by Benjamin Georgeaud
With "Donatello" , Benjamin Georgeaud presents a striking sculpture, which celebrates 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 head, slightly tilted, expresses a quiet grace, and the half-closed eyes exude a silent wisdom. The details of the fur are engraved with a technical mastery that evokes the movement of muscles beneath the skin, giving the sculpture an impressive realism while maintaining a certain abstraction.
The use of natural material and textures adds an extra depth to the work, reinforcing the connection between the artist and his subject. The horse, although static, seems to breathe, ready to come to life at any moment. It is in this tension between movement and stillness that lies all the expressive power of "Donatello" .
This sculpture does not simply represent a horse; it embodies the very spirit of the animal. It captures the essence of the relationship between man and nature, between artistic mastery and the raw beauty of the wild world. “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 it occupies.
