{"product_id":"leonardo-horse-cavallo-bronze-statue","title":"Leonardo's Horse Gran Cavallo Bronze Statue","description":"Leonardo's Horse (also known as Gran Cavallo) is a sculpture that was commissioned of Leonardo da Vinci by Ludovico il Moro, but not completed. It was intended to be the largest equestrian statue in the world, a monument to the duke's father Francesco Sforza. Leonardo did extensive preparatory work for it but produced only a clay model, which was later destroyed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In preparation for the work, Leonardo studied horses, and wrote a treatise on horse anatomy. Another treatise, titled Of Weight, included detailed plans for casting the statue, which would have been done in separate hollow pieces and featured iron braces for internal support. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note there can be slight differences between the color of the item you receive and the pictures on the website due to the handmade nature of the product. The important thing to note is that the patina is not a paint but a very thin conversion coat on the surface of the bronze.\u003c!-- split --\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Hot-cast bronze at 1,850°F (1,010°C)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Rich aged patina, traditional\u003cbr\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Intricate details, timeless look\u003cbr\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/files\/output-onlinepngtools.png?v=1720861214\" height=\"12px\"\u003e Enhances any space \u003c!-- split --\u003eHeight: \u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e58 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e22.6\"\u003c!-- split --\u003eItaly\u003c!-- split --\u003e1\u003c!-- split --\u003eSCAN3913045\u003c!-- split --\u003eMade to order - Shipping within 4-6 weeks\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: none;\" class=\"geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_2 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_content_4 geotargetlygeocontent1630916007191_default\"\u003e58 cm \/ \u003c\/span\u003e22.6\"","brand":"The Ancient Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32324316102769,"sku":"SCAN3913045","price":8950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1551\/9675\/products\/001-SCAN3913045-leonardo-horse-cavallo-bronze-statue_7d7e76a9-b8ba-4f5c-833a-260c6ea6b0c3.png?v=1665472514","url":"https:\/\/thetheancienthomesnap.com\/products\/leonardo-horse-cavallo-bronze-statue","provider":"The Ancient Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
