    From the private collection of a S.W. London gentleman, acquired in the 1970s. This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D'Amato.

    The celebrated equestrian monument to the warlord Bartolomeo Colleoni is a bronze statue at a height of 395 cm, without the base, by Andrea del Verrocchio, made between 1480 and 1488 and located in Venice in the Campo San Zanipolo. It is only the third known equestrian statue of the Renaissance, after the monument to Gattamelata by Donatello in Padua, from 1446-1453 and the statue of Nicolò III d'Este by Leon Battista Alberti (1451). In 1479, the Republic of Venice decreed the construction of an equestrian monument for the leader Bartolomeo Colleoni, who died in 1475, to be placed in Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo. In 1480, it entrusted the task to Andrea Verrocchio, who began the work in his workshop in Florence. In 1481, the wax model was sent to Venice, where the lost-wax casting of the bronze took place. Andrea died in 1488 with the work unfinished and in his will he had named the Florentine Lorenzo di Credi as heir and executor of the unfinished work, but the Venetian Signoria preferred Alessandro Leopardi, a local artist. The reassignment was justified due to the fact that Lorenzo was essentially a painter: it was customary in a multipurpose workshop like Verrocchio's for students to acquire practice in different artistic techniques. Although Venice officially prohibited personal commemorative monuments, an exception was made for Bartolomeo Colleoni, who left a sum of money to the Republic on condition that a monument should be erected to his memory.
