Motif Bronze Horse
Introduction
At Babak Gallery Art, every piece carries not just beauty, but also meaning. This exceptional bronze horse sculpture draws inspiration from one of the greatest epics in Persian literature — the Shahnameh (The Book of Kings), written by Ferdowsi over a thousand years ago. In this timeless tale, heroes, warriors, and their loyal steeds are immortalized, reflecting the deep bond between man and horse.
This sculpture captures a moment of both power and vulnerability: the horse charges forward, yet turns its head back to look for its fallen rider. It is an artistic representation of loyalty, love, and the eternal strength that continues even after loss.
 
 
The Story Behind the Sculpture
The horse is not just an animal in Persian tradition — it is a companion, protector, and symbol of nobility. In the Shahnameh, legendary warriors such as Rostam and Sohrab shared unbreakable bonds with their steeds, who often played pivotal roles in battles and journeys.
This bronze artwork is inspired by such legendary scenes. With its forward-moving posture and backward gaze, the horse embodies two contrasting forces:
Strength and momentum – the ability to charge ahead, unstoppable in its power.
Love and loyalty – the refusal to forget its rider, turning back in remembrance and devotion.
It is a story of progress, yet never without heart.
