Equus

The mystery of the horse, men's oldest companion, the beauty of the animal's head has always fascinated Anna Chromy. Before starting to sculpt horses, horses and especially horse's heads appear in many of her works, such as "Animal love", "Sisyphos", "Between Heaven and Hell", "Horse heads", "Maestoso Austria", "Carnival in Venice" or "Nightingale". In Anna Chromy´s "Don Giovanni" only the head of a stallion was able to convey the feeling of vigor and eroticism which the sculptor wanted to portray in the figure of the eternal Don Juan.
