Amazone zu Pferde, Bronze equestrian statue in Tiergarten, Germany

Amazone zu Pferde is a life-size bronze of a young Amazon riding a horse, a battle axe in her right hand. Louis Tuaillon modelled it in Rome in 1890–1895 and it was cast in 1895. The figure stands in the Kolonnadenhof on Museum Island, one of the three original sculptures of that courtyard still in place.

Louis Tuaillon modelled the bronze in Rome between 1890 and 1895 and cast it in 1895; it caused a sensation at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition that year, and the Nationalgalerie bought it and installed it in 1898. In 1905 Kaiser Wilhelm II had an over-life-size version made (3 m long, 1.5 m wide, 5.5 m high) for the Tiergarten.

The title refers to the Amazons, the all-female warriors of Iranian origin linked to the Scythians and Sarmatians, who lived around the Black Sea and the Eurasian steppes from the 2nd millennium BC into the early Middle Ages. Tuaillon shows a young rider holding a battle axe in her right hand.

The over-life-size version stands in Tiergarten, commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1905; it measures 3 m long, 1.50 m wide and 5.50 m high. The original bronze of 1895 is on the Kolonnadenhof of the Museumsinsel, where it has stood since the Neues Museum reopened.

The bronze was cast in 1895 and shown at that year's Great Berlin Art Exhibition, where it made Tuaillon suddenly famous. The Nationalgalerie bought it and installed it in 1898; since the Neues Museum reopened it stands in the Kolonnadenhof, one of three original sculptures still there.
