Große Biga

Imagine you're standing at the edge of an ancient Roman chariot race, the air filled with excitement. That's what Fritz Koenig aimed to capture with the 'Große Biga.' Look at the powerful horses, their forms radiate energy as if they might leap forward at any moment. Behind you, the Alte Pinakothek stands in quiet contrast to the sculpture's dynamic presence. It's said that Koenig wanted not just to evoke the Roman era but to explore the connection between rider and horse. Notice the lines – they tell a story of speed and power, immortalized in bronze. Pause for a moment, and you might almost hear the wheels clattering on ancient stones.
