Marini developed several themes in sculpture: equestrian, Pomonas (nudes), portraits, and circus figures and drew on traditions of Etruscan and Northern European sculpture in developing these themes with the aim was to develop mythical images by interpreting classical themes in light of modern concerns and techniques. Marini is particularly famous for his series of stylized equestrian statues, which feature a man with outstretched arms on a horse.
