Riccio developed from his master's (Bartolommeo Bellano's) style the synthesis of subtle variations of surface working and infinite ingenuity of design for which he is justly famed. The rich, soft surface modelling, enlivened by brilliant work with chisel and punch, makes his Mounted Warrior one of the great masterpieces of High Renaissance classicism, and an equestrian monument in miniature.
