Miracolo (1951-1952)
Indulging in Marino Marini's works is one of the best ways to spend an afternoon in Firenze. The old cathedral of San Pancrazio houses 200+ of his masterpieces, most of which were donated by the artist's wife, Marina. One can embrace three significant themes among Marini's masterpieces: The rider and the horse, the female figure and the dancers. Marini's "Cavaliere" symbolizes a man's ability to control his animal instincts. While "Pomona" represents the Goddess of Fertility, "Danzatrice" expresses optimism during a time of war. Marino Marini's most popular piece, "Angelo della Citta," is found at the Guggenheim Museum in Venice, Italy, which I was also lucky enough to see.
