Kentaur

3D ModelNoAI

Young centaur on the stairs of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The bronze sculpture represents a hybrid creature of Greek mythology of horse and man. This representation is a copy of the ancient marble centaurs found during an excavation of Hadrian’s Villa in Rome in 1736 by Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti. The marble centaurs represent the allegory of youth and old age. Eros on the back, gives the young centaur the highest pleasure. The work from 1892 was created by the Austrian sculptor Edmund Hofmann von Aspernburg (1847-1930).
