Amazone zu Pferde

The life-size bronze sculpture "Amazon on Horseback" by sculptor Louis Tuaillon is a striking work of art on Berlin's Museum Island. It depicts a young horsewoman holding a battle-ax. Originally placed in the eastern front garden of the Alte Nationalgalerie, the sculpture now stands in the Colonnade Courtyard, which is enclosed by the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Neues Museum, and the Pergamon Museum. As one of the three original statues in this square, it invites you to explore the historic site. Created and cast in Rome in 1895, the figure is among the notable sculptures that define the courtyard and underscore the cultural significance of Museum Island.
