“Look at the grace!” whispers a woman, her eyes fixed on the Cavalo Marinho Sculpture. The Cavalo Marinho Sculpture, two elegant figures carved from Lioz marble, seems to capture the very essence of the sea. These aren’t your typical seahorse depictions. Antonio Duarte, the artist, chose to portray them in a surprisingly abstract and stylized way, far from any literal representation. The Cavalo Marinho Sculpture isn’t just a pretty sight. Commissioned between 1940 and 1942, they represent a moment in Portuguese history where art and public spaces intertwined. They stand as a testament to Portugal’s enduring fascination with the sea.
