Marino Marini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marino Marini (February 27, 1901 - August 6, 1980) was an Italian sculptor.
Born in Pistoia, 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.
