Domenico Pinto's " Crowned Horse" stands as a testament to the enduring artistry emerging from Grottaglie's celebrated ceramic district. Crafted by Domenico Pinto, this terracotta sculpture reimagines the symbolic language of the "pugliese" tradition with a bold, design-conscious aesthetic.

Departing from conventional representations, Pinto's horse possesses a striking, almost architectural form. Its rigid legs create an uncommon presentation, while meticulous detail elevates the work to fine art. Note the quilted body with geometric tile patterns, a regal crown, and the stylized waves that adorn the horse's back. In a dazzling flourish, the inclusion of 24Kt gold bestows an aura of divine opulence. The horse possesses both an artistic and functional element, making it unique.

Like much of Pinto's oeuvre, this horse transcends mere representation, becoming a vessel for cultural memory and personal expression. Signed "D. Pinto Grottaglie," it embodies the artist's profound connection to his region and his ongoing contribution to its rich ceramic heritage. This unique piece invites viewers to discover the extraordinary within the everyday, a hallmark of Pinto's work, which has garnered international acclaim and recognition, including placement in the Vatican collections.
