Rearing Horse (1483-98) is a notable work attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most celebrated artists and polymaths of the Italian Renaissance. Although Leonardo is primarily known for his paintings, such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, his contributions to sculpture, although less extensive, are significant in understanding his comprehensive approach to art and science. The Rearing Horse is particularly important in this context as it reflects Leonardo's deep interest in the dynamics of movement and anatomy, themes that permeate much of his work.

The period from 1483 to 1498 was a prolific time for Leonardo, during which he was engaged in various projects, including those that showcased his keen interest in equine anatomy and the representation of horses in art. The Rearing Horse is believed to be part of Leonardo's ambitious but ultimately unrealized project to create a grand equestrian statue for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. This project, often referred to as the Gran Cavallo, was intended to be the largest equestrian statue in the world, a testament to both the artist's innovative spirit and the patron's power.

Leonardo's fascination with horses is evident in his numerous studies and sketches, where he explored the animals' anatomy, movement, and expressive potential. The Rearing Horse, as a concept, captures the dynamic energy and power of a horse in motion, themes that Leonardo meticulously studied through dissections and observation. Although the physical sculpture was never completed due to various factors, including the invasion of Milan by French forces in 1499 and the technical challenges associated with casting such a large bronze statue, the preparatory drawings and sketches provide invaluable insight into Leonardo's artistic process and his relentless pursuit of understanding through art.

The legacy of the Rearing Horse, and Leonardo's equestrian studies more broadly, extends beyond their historical context, influencing not only contemporary artists of the Renaissance but also future generations. The detailed anatomical studies and the emphasis on dynamic movement seen in Leonardo's work contributed significantly to the development of equine art and sculpture in the Western tradition. Today, the Rearing Horse is recognized not only as a testament to Leonardo's genius but also as a symbol of the unending quest for knowledge and the integration of art and science that defined the Renaissance.
