"Majestic Bronze Statues"

Horses of Saint Mark, which grace the front facade of the St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, are majestic statues of horses which are four in number. The original sculptures, which date back to antiquity, have been removed from the facade and taken to a museum so as to conserve them. They are attributed to Lysippos, who was an ancient Greek sculptor of the Fourth Century BCE. The statues which are now in their place in the loggia are exact replicas of the originals.
