''Physical Energy'' is a powerful and evocative bronze sculpture by the English artist George Frederick Watts. Conceived in 1883 and cast in 1902, this monumental work stands as one of Watts's most ambitious and celebrated pieces, encapsulating his philosophical interests and his preoccupation with the representation of dynamic force. The sculpture depicts a muscular, nude male figure seated on a horse, with the rider's right hand gripping the reins and the left hand raised, holding a rod. The figure's gaze is cast forward, suggesting a visionary looking into the distance or future, embodying the concept of energy and forward momentum.

Watts intended ''Physical Energy'' to symbolize the restless drive of humanity to discover and inquire, as well as the relentless pursuit of knowledge and progress. The work is not just a celebration of physical strength, but also an allegory for the intellectual and spiritual energy that Watts saw as the driving force behind human evolution and achievement. The sculpture's scale and dynamism make it a commanding presence, and it has been interpreted as a response to the rapid changes and advancements of the Industrial Revolution.

Multiple casts of ''Physical Energy'' exist, with prominent examples located in London's Kensington Gardens, the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town, South Africa, and the National Gallery in Harare, Zimbabwe. The sculpture has been widely discussed in the context of British imperial iconography, particularly the version at the Rhodes Memorial, which commemorates the British imperialist Cecil Rhodes. ''Physical Energy'' remains a significant work in the oeuvre of George Frederick Watts, reflecting his philosophical ideals and his mastery of form and expression in sculpture.
