Podere San Quirico

From 4 to 31 October the exhibition “Cavalli d’autore” will be held in the splendid setting of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena

“Author’ Horses 2024”

From 4 to 31 October, the exhibition Cavalli d’Autore, curated by Elena Conti, returns to the Museum Complex. As always, it focuses on the different artistic interpretations of the figure of the horse, the undisputed protagonist of this art group show, a subject with a strong symbolic charge and historically an icon of prestige and freedom, always associated with exclusively positive values. Cavalli d’Autore involves painters and sculptors who represent the horse in the most diverse ways and with the most particular techniques. The exhibition aims to express the deep love that has always tied the city of Siena to the horse, which, due to its beautiful anatomical shape and the grace of its movements, is certainly one of the most depicted animals in art.

The artists of this edition come from Albania, Argentina, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Mongolia and the United States, Italians and Sienese. Some of the artists present have painted the Palio or created the Masgalano.

For this edition the following exhibitors are:
Luisa Albert, Tommaso Andreini, Lara Androvandi, Enrica Capone, Elena Conti, Ilaria Di Meo
Vivianne Duchini, Michi Grassi, Wolfgang Alexander Kossuth, Erika Lavosi, Carol Marano
Fabio Mazzieri, Stephen McGarva, Graziano Moscatelli, Sandra Petreni, Rita Petti, Daniele Righi Ricco, Giovanna Romano, Mauro Russo, Federico Severino, Massimo Stecchi, Iva Todorova, Yu Wang, Armand Xhomo, Daniele Zacchini
