Archduke Charles of Austria by Anton Dominik Fernkorn, 1859
Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square)
Vienna, September 2017

“He rediscovered Baroque sculpture and used it as the basis for his equestrian statue of Archduke Charles (1859), who had defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Aspern in 1809. In this work Fernkorn skillfully executed the difficult task of creating a monumentally sized equestrian statue with the horse (and rider) successfully balanced on the horse's two rear legs.” (Anton Dominik Fernkorn, Wikipedia)
