EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of the two magnificent Marly Horses, sculpted by Guillaume I Coustou between 1739 and 1745. The horses were originally created for the Horse Pond at the Chateau de Marly in Yvelines, France but now reside in the Cour Marly at the Louvre Museum. In this image, we witness the untamed spirit of these wild creatures as they rear up on their hind legs, displaying their strength and power. The groom standing nearby seems both awe-inspired and cautious, fully aware of the majestic yet unpredictable nature of these animals. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight not only the skillful craftsmanship of Coustou's sculpture but also emphasize every muscle and sinew that make up these lifelike equine forms. Their flowing manes add a touch of elegance to their otherwise fierce appearance. Placed atop a sturdy plinth against an urban backdrop, these Marly Horses command attention from all who pass by them on Place de la Concorde in Paris. They serve as a reminder of our deep connection with nature and our fascination with capturing its beauty through art. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind these sculptures but also invites us into a world where wildness meets human admiration.
