Bronze charioteer

Unknown

ca. 500 BCE · Bronze · Greek and Roman Art

From the surviving representations, it is obvious that charioteers by themselves were much less important than the chariot group or the horses. This fine bronze—like its famous lifesize counterpart in Delphi—may have been dedicated by the winner of a chariot race.
