“Diane” by H. Moreau, is an 18-inch tall bronze statue that encapsulates the grace and mystique of the Roman goddess Diana. In Roman mythology, Diana is revered as the goddess of nature, animals, the hunt, and the moon. This exquisite reproduction pays homage to her multifaceted role, capturing her ethereal beauty and commanding presence. The sculpture portrays Diana standing atop a crescent-shaped moon, a symbol of her lunar domain. Cloaked in a diaphanous gown with a captivating green patina, it seems to flow with the wind, lending an air of movement to the piece. The serious expression on her face, with her head turned to the left, adds an aura of contemplation. Diane’s right arm gracefully arches over her head, while her left arm extends outward at her side, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. With her back elegantly arched and her right knee slightly bent, she stands with poise and elegance on the crescent-shaped moon. This posture not only emphasizes her connection to the lunar sphere but also adds a touch of realism to the sculpture. Diane was crafted from the original molds that were hidden and buried during World War II DIMENSIONS 7 ʺ W × 5.5 ʺ D × 18 ʺ H STYLES Neoclassical ART SUBJECTS Mythology ARTIST Hippolyte Moreau PERIOD Mid 20th Century ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS Bronze CONDITION Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections Best Offer I want you to absolutely love your purchase!!
