Charles Cary Rumsey
Winning the Race Galloping Horse and Rider in Bronze by Charles Rumsey

1910

About the Item

Rumsey’s specialties included equestrian sculptures – portraits of polo players and prize horses, as well as of cowboys, cattle and horses as metaphors. He worked principally in bronze and stone, often employing mythology and historical themes articulated in private commissions for freestanding statuary and in public monuments. His 40-foot bas relief panels of Indians, horses and buffalos for the Manhattan Bridge and the heroic subject matter of Rice Stadium commission are examples. One professor, Emmanuel Fremiet, a specialist in equestrian statuary, devoted special emphasis to the study of the horse, and his training was to have a decisive influence on the young Rumsey. Apart from sculpture, horses were the great passion of his life. He was a superb rider and a world-class polo champion. The work of Charles Rumsey is in the permanent collection of Museums around the world including The Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC and the Beaux Arts Center Paris France.
