Leonardo's ' The Horse '
The second in the Savinelli Leonardo
collection.
In 1482 the Duke of
Milano commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to produce a bronze horse of huge
proportions. Unfortunately, Leonardo never got to realize his idea for the massive project.
In 1978, pilot and art collector Charles Dent read an article in the National
Geographic
about Leo's plans and conceived a dream to build the horse and present it to the
Italian people as a 'Thank You' gift from America for the treasures of the
Renaissance.
Unfortunately, Mr. Dent also did not live to see the completion of the horse, but in
September 1999
after five hundred years, the finished 24' high Bronze horse was unveiled.
Each pipe is serially
numbered with certificate of authenticity
and produced in extremely limited numbers.
Each pipe has a shield with a
depiction of Leonardo's horse
as does the matching pipe tool that comes with each pipe.
Includes
'FREE' 20 pack of Balsa
inserts with converter tube.
