Cavaliere Rampin

Il Cavaliere Rampin è una statua equestre arcaica in marmo, alta circa 123 cm e divisa in due pezzi: corpo e resti del cavallo si trovano nel Museo dell'Acropoli ad Atene, la testa si trova invece nel Louvre di Parigi. È l'unico esempio conservato di scultura equestre dell'arte greca arcaica.

La testa del cavaliere fu ritrovata sull'Acropoli di Atene nel 1877, dove fu acquistata dall'omonimo diplomatico francese e poi donata al Louvre. Dieci anni dopo furono ritrovate anche le altre parti del corpo del cavallo e del cavaliere nella cosiddetta colmata persiana, una favissa ad est dell'Eretteo scavata nel 480 a.C., quando la città di Atene fu saccheggiata dai Persiani; la testa non fu unita al resto della statua fino al 1936.
