It was made by <strong>Pietro Tacca<\/strong> in <strong>1640<\/strong>, using a design by <strong>Vel\u00e1zquez <\/strong>and calculations by <strong>Galileo Galilei<\/strong> to achieve something unique. Thanks to this collaboration, the horse is supported only on its hind legs, achieving a technical feat that conveys movement and balance.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Tacca represented Felipe IV as a strong leader, in absolute control. The sculpture is located in front of the <strong>Royal Palace in Madrid<\/strong> and has been restored by <strong>Capa Esculturas<\/strong> to maintain its majesty. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Material<\/strong>: Bronze<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dimensions<\/strong>: 5.35 meters high<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Curiosities<\/strong>: Galileo helped to calculate the equilibrium of the horse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capaesculturas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Felipe-IV-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Equestrian statue of Felipe IV in Plaza de Oriente, Madrid, with Royal Palace in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-6436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capaesculturas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Felipe-IV-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.capaesculturas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Felipe-IV-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.capaesculturas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Felipe-IV-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.capaesculturas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Felipe-IV-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Los leones del Congreso de los Diputados<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The lions guarding the entrance to the <strong>Congress of Deputies<\/strong> are one of the most recognizable symbols of the city.
