Statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni, Bronze equestrian statue in Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice.
The 395-centimeter bronze monument depicts military commander Bartolomeo Colleoni mounted on a horse, with his right hand holding a command baton.
The Republic of Venice commissioned this statue in 1479 following Colleoni's death, with Andrea del Verrocchio creating it between 1480 and 1488.
The statue represents a shift in Renaissance sculpture, as Verrocchio engineered the first equestrian monument balanced on three horse legs.
The monument stands in front of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, next to the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice.
Alessandro Leopardi completed the statue after Verrocchio's death, adding the high marble pedestal decorated with bronze ornaments.
