The Bronze Horse at the Capitoline Museums: a Greek Original in Rome
Four Equestrian Studies
Four studies dedicated to equestrian beauty: Marco Delogu photographed thoroughbred horses loose against a white background in a naturally lit studio constructed at the Capannelle racecourse, recreating the diffused light typical of northern latitudes, and took close-ups against a black background, adopting the concepts of total suspension, subtraction and leanness. These images contrast with the painted horses in the fresco by Cavalier d’Arpino entitled the “Battle of Tullus Hostilius against the Veientes and the Fidenates” and the bronze horse found in Vicolo delle Palme and housed in the Capitoline Museums.
The book is double-ended, with a part dedicated specifically to the bronze horse, and was written by Marco Delogu, with the contribution of critical texts by Claudio Parisi Presicce and Cristiana Perrella, on occasion of its recent restoration.
Marco Delogu was born in 1960 in Rome, where he still lives and works.
His work focuses on portraits of social groups connected by common experiences and languages. He has published over 20 books and has exhibited his work in several galleries and museums in Italy and abroad, including the Accademia di Francia, Villa Medici, Rome; the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Rome; Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome; the Warburg Institute, London; the Henry Moore Foundation, Leeds; IRCAM - Centre George Pompidou, Paris; Museé de l'Elysee, Lausanne; the PhotoMuseum, Moscow; the ex-GIL, Rome; and the Capitoline Museums, Rome.
He is director of FotoGrafia, the international photography festival held in Rome.
