Bellerophon Taming Pegasus, Bronze sculpture at Columbia University Law School, United States.
The massive bronze sculpture depicts a human figure securing a rope around a horse with spread wings, legs, and tail in dynamic motion.
Jacques Lipchitz received the commission in 1966, and the sculpture was completed after his death, with dedication taking place in 1977.
The piece interprets the Greek mythology of Bellerophon controlling Pegasus, representing the relationship between human determination and natural forces.
Located above Jerome Greene Hall's west entrance on Revson Plaza, this 23-ton sculpture measures 30 feet by 28 feet on a 27-foot pedestal.
This bronze creation stands as New York City's second-largest metal statue, following only the Statue of Liberty in size.
