Bronze Horse Statues - Art By Patricia Crane

HORSE KNOWLEDGE CENTER Meet the Horse Artist: Sculptor Patricia Crane Contact
The bronze horse statues created by Patricia Crane, are extremely well known. The famous Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington sports two life size bronze horse statues and many other sizes are in public and private collections in many other countries. The bronze displayed below, clearly shares an inner and outer majesty, evidenced by the expressive face, the proud carriage of the neck, but even more important is simply how being around this steed makes you feel.

Odyssey

Museum quality bronze horse statues, edition of 50

The sculpture measures 8-1/4 inches tall x 6 inches long, plus walnut base.

From birth to old age, these wondrous creatures have shared an odyssey
with man. This noble face and proud carriage speak of generations of
fidelity, courage, and wholeness of spirit, captured in a single bronze horse statue.

Quality in Bronze Horse Statues


Bronze horse statues began to be created not too awfully long after man began working with bronze itself. While bronze is the favorite material of serious sculptors, many other materials have also been used to try to capture the magic of the equine in horse statues all through the ages of man.

Bronze horse statues are often considered by sculptors in general to be difficult to achieve with great success. The subject after all, has four legs, head and tail , which must all come out of a mold with precision -- not an easy task. However, those devoted to living with or creating bronze will spend any number of hours to achieve not only good horse statues, but also that special portrayal that truly captures the balanced conformation.

Bronze horse statues must also capture the spirit. Both conformation and personality must be present to a high degree in the best statues. Patricia Crane's early skill was to create a true to life portrait in all of her work. Through the years of experience other of her sculptor's skills were honed, and many top honors were achieved, but no award has provided the utter pleasure of simply sculpting excellent work and creating museum quality bronze horse statues!
