Rosso antico torso of a centaur

This fragment shows the muscular midsection of a centaur, capturing the transition from the human torso to the equine body. The deep red, iron-rich marble highlights the anatomical tension of the sculpture, emphasizing the hybrid nature of the creature.

The centaur represents the classical duality of the rational human mind and the instinctual, bestial nature, a common trope in Renaissance Neoplatonic discussions on the hierarchy of being and human self-mastery.
