Leonardo DaVinci conceived, but never finished, the world's largest equine statue. This project failure has puzzled scholars ever since. Kasey-Dee Gardner finds out why this project came to a grinding halt.

  • 70 tons of bronze, 140,000 pounds... just think what just the metal would cost alone today now that copper and tin prices have shot through the roof to insanely high levels.

    The bronze itself would easily cost over a million dollars alone today.

  • wow great

  • @kittenclaws= Because landmarks don't shoot back. If they did, they would have surrendered.

  • @ehcmier wtf?

    

  • When was this made? They did complete the horse statue - there is one in Grand Rapids Michigan at the Frederick Meijer Gardens and one in Milan Italy,

  • it will be awesome if he finish it =D

  • According to their website, which you could just as easily looked up, the display of the horse is computer generated, not a statue, not solid...

  • You do realize that while a humongous penis may be enviable, a matching vagina is not. Sad for you and your tumor.

  • if anyone's interesting there's an exhibition of his work in the Manchester science and industry museum .
