This sculpture represents an Unicum in the artist’s production, -never much prone to represent things through an imaginative, comic, macabre view and mostly voted to the multiple possible rearrangements of classical tradition- presenting one of his most extravagant and unusual creations. The bull hosts on his back three figures which may seem just apparently contradictory: a naked woman, moved by an evident erotic vibration and represented by classic features such as reclined head and arched back; a skeleton figure in the middle, shrouded and mournful with a clear recall to disintegration, and a helmsman Pulcinella grabbing the bull’s horns and leading the merry group to an unknown destination.
