Rampin Horseman

The Rampin Horseman

The head is a plaster replica of the original which is at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Made of Parian marble.
Rampin Horseman. Marble original, c. 560-550 BCE.
The statue’s head is at the Louvre museum in Paris, replaced in the Acropolis museum by an exact plaster cast.
One of the most important aspects of the “Rampin” statue is a subtle turn of the torso towards the right as the head turns distinctly towards the left, an attempt to brake free from the strict symmetry of the past.
Exhibited at the Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece.
