Leonardo's Horse, also known as Gran Cavallo, is a magnificent equestrian statue originally conceived by Leonardo da Vinci. Located in Milan, Italy, the statue stands as a testament to Leonardo's genius and ambition. The project was initially commissioned by Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, in 1482, but Leonardo's grand vision was never realized during his lifetime due to various challenges, including the invasion of Milan by the French. Centuries later, efforts were made to bring Leonardo's vision to life. The American artist Charles C. Dent dedicated much of his life to this cause, and after his passing, the project was completed by the Leonardo da Vinci's Horse, Inc. organization. The bronze statue, standing about 7 meters tall, was finally unveiled in Milan in 1999.
