The Poet and Pegasus (Le Poète et Pégase)

This is a bronze relief depicting the Poet and Pegasus. The myth of Pegasus is omnipresent in so-called classical literature and poetry, so much so that there are countless famous authors who have dedicated to him one or more texts, especially poems where he refers to the call of inspiration. Voltaire, Honoré de Balzac, Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich Heine, Victor Hugo, Alice de Chambrier, Jose Maria de Heredia and Jean Cocteau paid tribute to the winged horse of Greek mythology, each in his own way, through one or more of their works.
