The northern Italian city of Padua was the center of Italian bronze production during the 16th and early 17th century. Small-scale horse sculptures were widely created in Padua and were influenced by classical sculptures. The most famous horse sculpture in Padua is Donatello’s Equestrian statue of Gattamelata (1453).
