For Colombian-born Fernand Botero, equines hold a special place, figuring prominently into some of his most notable paintings and sculptures. . An admitted lover of volume and form, Botero highlights his study of these effects in the round in ‘Horse with Saddle;’ a smooth, solid body, exaggeratedly-muscular legs and chest, a stout tail, punctuated by the lines of the tack and the undulating shape of the rivet-studded saddle. . Missing in this image is the typical equestrian one may expect to find atop the animal. Here, Botero omits the rider in favor of the horse itself as worthy of celebration. . Compact and potent, ‘Horse with Saddle’ bears all the characteristics of Botero's monumental figures—grace, strength and nobility—but in tabletop proportion. . This unique piece, executed in marble, has a commanding presence that belies its size, proving that bigger isn’t always better. .⠀ Fernando Botero (b. 1932), 'Horse with Saddle'.
