Banked cloud fills the ground behind, and rocks and standards are cut shallow along the foot so the eye stays on the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHorse Wall Art Reared Up Against a Mountain Pass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything here depends on the horse holding its weight on two legs. The hind quarters are the deepest carving in the panel and the forelegs are undercut so daylight passes behind them, which is what makes the rear look like movement instead of a pose. The cloak is cut thinner than the horse so it reads as cloth. The stone is a bright white with a tight uniform texture, left unpolished so shadow does all the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall panel of this weight wants a wall built for it: a stair hall, an entrance, a gallery, a lift lobby or a double-height room. Light it from above and slightly to one side, because a flat wash from the front kills the undercutting, and give it enough distance that the whole pass can be taken in at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFixing a Tall Panel and Lighting the Relief\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. The horse is cut first and signed off before the rider is started, because the rider's balance depends on exactly where the animal ends up, and there is no adjusting one against the other afterwards. Proportion is made to your wall, and the cloud and standards can be quieted for a plainer field. This design is also listed as the Rider on a Rearing Horse Marble Relief Panel at its own proportions; look at both before you decide. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Near 1,079kg, crated upright, and it needs an engineered fixing designed for the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore riders sit under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-art\"\u003eanimal wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, and the tall panels in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wall-sculptures\"\u003ewall sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53818995442011,"sku":"MST-REL-066","price":25385.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-066_1.jpg?v=1787067417","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cloaked-rider-on-a-rearing-horse-marble-relief-180cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
