The imagined restlessness is so violent that the rider is thrown from the horse.

From 1936, Marino Marini regularly makes equestrian sculptures. He was influenced by Medardo Rosso and friends with Giacometti, Picasso, Braque and Moore. Together with the artist's changing worldview, these images undergo a major evolution.

In the first versions, the human being as ruler sits firmly on the horse's back, surveying the world in an almost triumphalistic pose. His style is still that of sentimental realism, but slowly his forms become more dramatic and depict the tragedy of human existence. The unrest is gradually increasing. With this Miracolo it is already so violent that the rider is thrown from his horse.

The resemblance to Paul's miracle is striking, but it is not certain whether Marini deliberately used this reference, despite the work's title. Later in his career, Marino Marini will reduce his horses entirely to a kind of fossil, the destruction, the absolute nothing from which new life springs, at least in theory.
