After a span of five hundred years, from Leonardo's proposal to the Duke of Milan in 1482, to Allentown's Charles Dent reading about the unfinished work in 1977, The Orginal Horse was unveiled in Milan at the Cultural Park sponsored by SNAI on September 10, 1999. The Horse, brilliantly created by sculptor Nina Akamu and cast in bronze by the Tallix Art Foundry, represents the appreciation of the Americans for the genius of Leonardo and the legacy of the Italian Renaissance.
At the Charles C. Dent Memorial Garden in the Community Arts Park at the Baum School of Art in Allentown, PA, this 12 foot horse was dedicated October 4th, 2002 and celebrated by the Leonardo's Imagination event.
