The statuette of The Shouting Horseman was made by the sculptor Andrea Riccio (1470-1532). It is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
The statuette shows a warrior wearing classical armour and riding bare-back, crying out in the heat of battle. In his right hand, he holds the hilt of a sword (the blade is missing). The warrior's left hand may have originally held a spear or shield.
Bronze sculptures were usually made so that they can be reproduced in several versions, but the Lost-wax casting method of casting used by Riccio makes this horse and rider unique.
