Blue Heroic and the Chariot or Let Me Get Off this thing
Madrid is full of heroic voluminous architecture and statues, this classical ensemble of three horses, a chariot and, not to be outdone by all that blue sky, a charioteer, who is surely not dressed for work even by Roman standards. The more you looked, head craning upwards, the more you wonder, surely this un-reined position on top of the chariot is untenable? My knowledge of chariots, being limited to watching Ben Hur and Gladiator,and neither recently, suggests that even a bronze man should be inside the carriage? But maybe this is a classical allusion, a sly reference for this man’s disdain of marriage, as he won’t fit in the horse and carriage ensemble?
