Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Important bronze proof with brown patina , representing "Diane Of Gabies" assimilated to the goddess Artemis , virgin goddess of the hunt and wild nature , who is traditionally associated with the sculptor "Praxiteles" .
The statue was discovered in 1792 by "Gavin Hamilton" , on the property of "Prince Borghese" in Gabies , not far from Rome .
It immediately joined the Prince's collections, before being sold to Napoleon I . It has been kept at the Louvre Museum since 1820 , under inventory number Ma529 .
"Diane De Gabies" is a standing figure fastening her cloak : the right hand holds a fibula and brings one side of the garment over the right shoulder while the left hand lifts the other side to chest level . The movement has caused the collar of the chiton to slide , exposing the left shoulder .
The head is slightly turned to the right , but the goddess is not really looking at what she is doing : her gaze is staring into space , as is often the case with statues of the second classicism .
Antique bronze , 19th century period , circa 1860 .
Sculpture produced by the founder "Ferdinand Barbedienne", renowned for the quality of his sculptures using the "Collas" mechanical reduction method .
Signature of the founder and "Collas" mechanical reduction stamp on the naturalist terrace .
Very good state of conservation and patina .

Sizes : 84 cm x 26 cm x 21.5 cm
