Vice Reis da India a Cavalo is a work by the Portuguese artist Luis Pinto-Coelho. The work consists in twelve sculptures in iron, alluding to the "Viceroys of India on Horse", designed and executed by the artist.
These works despite being figurative, have a abstractizantes styling with signs of a strong scenographic expression.
These pieces were placed in the garden, and they dialogue with its surroundings like if they are watching all this theatrical space.
The theme of the horses has always fascinated the artist and was present in almost all his work.
