Leonardo da Vinci always dreamed of sculpting a horse in motion--made of bronze and standing three times larger than any living horse. Although he never realized his dream, 500 years after da Vinci's death, an enterprising American, Charles Dent, resolved to make the dream come true. Illustrations. Die cut.
