Equestrian Portrait Of Diego Velazquez 1924
Constance Whitney Warren’s bronze sculpture entitled, Equestrian Portrait of Diego Velazquez 1924 is located between the General Academic Building and the Physics Building at the University of North Texas Denton Campus. Gift of the Harlan crow family in 1994 but the reasons remain in mistery. The composition of the ten foot bronze sculpture was created inspired by the American West and specializing in bronze equestrian statues, portrays the famous Spanish painter Diego Velazquez who is riding a horse with his torso turned, is evident that the horizontal elements are being minimized in this sculpture while vertically emphasizes Velazquez’s authority over the horse and with that pose makes evident of his prominent position as a master painter.
With an artist pallet near the horse’s foot and the horse supported in only two legs that are attached to a five foot concrete base, letting the viewer see all angles of the horse and rider from the front; the connection I see from Velazquez and his horse is that is pretty strong the horse seems calm and pretty obedient and trained just sympathizing with Velazquez.
