1Physical Energy Statue
This bronze statue of man on horseback is called Physical Energy and is the work of the British artist George Frederic Watts (1817-1904). Watts had very high ideals for his art, and intended his work to help humanity embrace progress. Physical Energy is an allegory of the human need for new challenges – of our instinct to always be scanning the horizon, looking towards the future. In the artist’s own words, it is ‘a symbol of that restless physical impulse to seek the still unachieved in the domain of material things’.
