===Medieval Europe=== [[File:Statua equestre Cangrande della Scala (Verona).jpg|thumb|The original statue of [[Cangrande I della Scala|Cangrande I]] (14th century), now replaced by a copy. [[Scaliger Tombs]] in [[Verona]]]] Equestrian statues were not very frequent in the [[Middle Ages]]. Nevertheless, there are some examples, like the [[Bamberg Horseman]] (German: ''Der Bamberger Reiter''), in [[Bamberg Cathedral]]. Another example is the ''Magdeburg Reiter'', in the city of [[Magdeburg]], that depicts Emperor [[Otto I]]. This is in stone, which is fairly unusual at any period, though the Gothic statues at less than life-size at the [[Scaliger Tombs]] in [[Verona]] are also in stone. There are a few roughly half-size statues of ''[[Saint George and the Dragon]]'', including the famous ones in [[Prague]] and [[Stockholm]]. A well-known small bronze [[equestrian statuette of Charlemagne]] (or another emperor) in Paris may be a contemporary portrait of [[Charlemagne]], although its date and subject are uncertain. <gallery> Bamberger Reiter Dom Bamberg P1330479.jpg|[[Bamberg Horseman]] (1225β1237), [[Bamberg Cathedral]], stone Alter Markt (Magdeburg-Altstadt).Magdeburger Reiter.ajb.jpg|[[Magdeburg]] Horseman (1240), Magdeburg Sv.
