We just learned about the Equestrian Statue of Bartolomeo.
Another famous Renaissance sculpture is Leonardo's Horse in Milan in 1482.
Leonardo Da Vinci was working on a large sculpture of a horse, and he built a model out of clay but it was destroyed in a war before it could be made into a metal statue.
His notes and drawings for how to make the horse were saved, so a few people have made real copies of the sculpture.
