Description
These reliefs were originally set in the external wall of a house near the Ponte dei Baretteri, Venice, where they were seen and vividly described by the celebrated art critic John Ruskin (St Mark's Rest, 1877-84). He noted the 'most consummate precision of artistic skill. Look at the strap of the stirrup- at the little delicatest line of the spur, - can you think they are stone? don't they look like leather and steel? His flying mantle. - is it not silk more than marble?'
