Marino Marini
|
Marino Marini (1901- 1980) was a twentieth-century Italian sculptor. Marini is particularly famous for his series of stylised equestrian statues, which feature a man with outstretched arms on a horse. Probably the most famous example is "The Angel of the City" at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice. There is a small museum dedicated to his work, the Museo Marino Marini, in Florence, Italy.
