URBACH, ZSUZSA: Ein flämischer ikonographischer Bildtypus im italienischen Quattrocento. Bemerkungen zur Studie von Éva Eszláry

43. Damiano Cappelli: Horseman Pursuing a Stag. Paris, Collection of Alain Moatti related to the ones in Budapest, but also because they are signed. The ones representing Horseman Killing a Bull (fig. 41) and a Turkish Horseman in Combat with a Lion (fig. 42) are signed "DAMIANO CAPPELLI", while on the other two, the Horseman Pursuing a Stag and a Boar (figs. 43-44), the signature "D.C.OP." is legible.

27 The bronze statuettes, thus, were undeniably executed by the likewise Florentine sculptor, Damiano Cappelli (died in 1688). While the Horseman Killing a Bull in the Paris group is identical to the one in Budapest, the horseman pursuing a boar in Budapest is pursuing a stag in the Paris series, the figure of the boar appearing with another horseman. In 1992, Sandro Bellesi published a separate study on his observations made while editing the repertory of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Florentine The small bronzes form part of the collection of Alain Moatti: Horseman Killing a Bull, bronze, height: 32 cm, length: 38 cm; Turkish Horseman in Combat with a Lion, bronze, height: 33 cm, length: 39.9 cm; Horseman Pursuing a Stag, bronze, height: 34 cm, length: 52.3 cm; Horseman Pursuing a Boar, bronze, height: 30 cm, length: 39.8 cm.
