Statua di Colleoni

Statue of Colleoni

Equestrian Statue of Venetian Military Leader


Family Time

Address:
Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo
Castello
Venice, Veneto 30170

Description

A magnificent bronze equestrian statue of military leader Bartolomeo Colleoni, it was designed by Andrea Verrochio but completed by Alessandro Leopardi in 1490 after Verronchio's death. Although considered one of the best of its kind in the world, the statue does not actually look like the subject it was designed to portray! Verronchio had never seen Colleoni, so instead, he created a statue that is almost more a monument to military glory and power than one celebrating the famous mercenary.
