Bellerophon Taming Pegasus

Manhattan, United States of America

Bellerophon Taming Pegasus is an outdoor sculpture by Jacques Lipchitz, depicting Bellerophon and Pegasus. It was the final sculpture worked on by Lipchitz, and was completed after his death in 1973. The work depicts the human figure of Bellerophon, standing on a high plinth, tying a rope around the

neck of the thrashing Pegasus, whose tail, legs and wings splay dramatically around the central figures. It has been interpreted as representing man's taming nature.
