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 Rome, where he still lives and works, in 1960.
His research focuses on portraits of groups of people who share common experiences and languages. In recent years the main focus of his works has been nature, and hence his attention has shifted, in various manners, from man to his surroundings.
He has published over twenty books, and has held exhibitions in Italy and abroad in many art galleries and museums.
In autumn 2008 he had the big retrospective exhibition entitled “Noir et Blanc” at Accademia di Francia Villa Medici in Rome.
In 2011 he had retrospecitve show in Moscow at Multimedia Art Museum, and exhibited at the Venice Biennial (Arsenale) and at the Lyon biennial.
