M. Corgnati is seen as Don Quixote (Cervantes 1605: crisis of Renaissance values, need to investigate dreams and the unknown). Like Don Quixote, bold and reckless in his desire to found an open-air art museum, he is depicted here astride a cow, surrounded by peaches, a local product, and a peach as his banner. The contrast between the materials—burnished copper and gilded sheet metal—creates a certain dynamism, and the work, when the sun shines on it, becomes vibrant.
