The Flying horse
The Flying Horse was originally intended to be part of a planned monument with king Charles XII, as a preserved drawing of Milles hand shows. However, the artist soon abandoned the idea of an equestrian monument and instead made Flying Horse a stand-alone work. The Flying Horse was one of the very first examples of Milles floating sculptures. The artist returned throughout his life to the floating form and it is central to Milles art. The free and detached from the earth creates a feeling of independence and strength and can be perceived as freedom both physically and intellectually. The writer and poet Verner von Heidenstam saw the sculpture in the artists studio and wrote to Milles about his impressions: "For a long time I have not seen anything as beautiful as your horse. Will, tendons and muscles throughout. I do not understand how you created this... The earth does not exist for that horse. It flies like the celestial objects without wings. "
