Leonardo da Vinci always dreamed of capturing the power and beauty of a horse in motion. It would be sculpted in bronze, three times larger than any living horse, and it would stand before the palace of the Duke of Milan. Leonardo studied real horses, sketched plans, and even built a clay model, but the model was destroyed and he was never able to finish his horse. Five hundred years after his death an enterprising American, Charles Dent, read about Leonardo's dream, and resolved to make it come true. Today, in Milan, there stands a perfect horse, three times larger than a living horse. Leonardo's Horse presents all of the stages of the majestic horse's epic journey through history with Jean Fritz's trademark sparkling narrative and masterfully inventive paintings and collages by Hudson Talbott.
