Leonardo da Vinci was a masterful artist. Ironically, one of his most famous masterpieces, Leonardo da Vinci's Horse, was not actually constructed by him, rather by a woman several hundred years later. This magnificent statue reaches higher into the sky than a two-story building and is made of pure bronze.
Cavallo Horse by Leonardo da Vinci Bronze Sculpture reproduction replica. This small, anatomically perfect bronze model of a stallion Leonardo da Vinci gave to Bianca Maria Sforza to her engagement with the Emperor Maximilian I.
"Leonardo's Horse" composite sculpture was used in association with Charles Dent's study of the da Vinci horse. The completed 24' bronze horse was presented as a gift to the city of Milan, Italy in 1999 and another bronze was placed in front of the Baum School of Art in Allentown, PA. This is a …
This reconstruction of the giant horse, over seven metres tall, is characterised by faithfulness to Leonardo’s drawings and to the casting process invented by him. Made of composite materials and featuring a steel structure, it is 7.8 m tall and has a total extension of about 10 x 4 meters, with a total weight of 20,000 kg (20 tons).
“Nina’s work is an original, and The American Horse was inspired by Leonardo, but it’s her ability as an animal sculptor that we are enjoying.” The massive sculpture The American Horse stands imposingly in the plaza.

Sculpture. A small group of generals’ heads in marble and plaster, works of Verrocchio ’s followers, are sometimes linked with Leonardo, because a lovely drawing attributed to him that is on the same theme suggests such a connection. But the inferior quality of this group of sculpture rules out an attribution to the master.
We offer a full range of custom sculpture services. These are one-of-a-kind pieces or extremely limited editions.
Material: The material of the statue is then decided by the client. The sculptor may also use a small clay model to better portray his conception of the design. The clay model can be modified to fine tune the client’s wishes.
Mini-Sculpture: Finally, the bronze sculpture artist may finalize the miniature model of the final design in order to give the client a preview into how the final product will look. This model is made using the material decided, and it can be used by the client for marketing purposes so that he can raise funds for the sculpture.
Creating the Backbone: The backbone of the bronze statue, also called the armature consists of a steel frame with foam added to it in order to resemble the rough outline of the final product. This is then sealed with a latex coat to secure it.
The Sculpting: The main work starts only now. Many pounds of hot clay are used and applied by hand to “block in” the design for the first time. The bronze sculpture artist then invests a lot of time adding more clay, removing some clay and molding the clay until the final product finally resembles the required design. Tiny details are added on to give more preciseness to the bronze statue and make it more real.
Remove dust with a damp cloth.
Do not use metal objects or wire brushes to clean the sculpture.
Do not apply abrasives or cleansers that will possibly scratch the finish.
ZUD – Non- Abrasive Cleaner. Use to remove stubborn stains. Zud cleans all metal surfaces including bronze. Zud can be used in powder or liquid form.
Lemon Oil – Apply a small amount of oil with a paintbrush or soft cloth. Cover the entire figure with oil. Wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth to take off the excess oil.
Paste Wax- A very thin, even coat of wax should be applied with a soft cloth. Allow the wax to sit and dry before polishing. Wax should be applied after bronze has been cleaned and dried. Do not apply if using lemon oil.
Do Nothing: Many bronze owners prefer to sit back and enjoy the natural reaction and aging process of their sculpture.

Ancient Sculpture Gallery is proud to present you with lost wax bronze reproductions of statues and busts from the Egyptian, Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, Asian Oriental, and Western civilizations. “Lost Wax” bronze (or hot-cast bronze) is actually 100% pure Bronze – essentially copper and tin. The making of a “lost wax” bronze is a complex and time consuming process, and specific technical expertise is needed to accomplish the task of making a bronze. The most known and used process for making “lost wax” involves pouring of molten bronze. This is the same method used by the ancient civilizations to create bronze sculptures. Our lost wax bronze sculptures are produced in this same technique.
