Helios, God of the Sun by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley In ancient Greek myth and religion, Helios is the god and personification of the Sun. Although often depicted driving a horse-drawn chariot through the sky, this sculpture shows Helios within the geometry of the circle looking down on the Earth. Working from the original small maquette made twenty years earlier and using the same model, the life size sculpture was completed and cast in 2020.

Details: Material: Bronze Size: Circle 1.22m / 48” Total Height 2.4m / 94” Edition: 3
