Ambiences and Tendencies
Elegance & Dexterity Conquer
Brute Strength & Matter
The horse, bestowed with admirable muscles and filled with an amazing vitality, seems to be still foaming under the yoke of the cavalier. The nobleman, who almost gives an impression of fragility in relation to the animal on which he is mounted, maintains his composure with serenity and elegance, in full dominion of himself and the animal as he salutes those who applaud his triumph.
An admirable symbol of the victory of the spirit over matter, of man over beast.
Catolicismo, No. 117 September 1960
