Art Deco Statuary Marble Figure of Cleopatra
About the Item
An Art Deco statuary marble figure of Cleopatra.
The half-lifesize standing figure posed with her right foot raised and looking to dexta, in front of a recumbent sphinx raised on a stepped entablature. On a Siena marble pedestal carved with panelled front.
Italian, Early 20th century.
Intertwining history and legend, the story of Cleopatra (68-30 B.C.) has inspired artists for centuries. The present depiction dates to a period of Egyptomania inspired by Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Egyptian motifs in turn informed dress and high fashion during the Roaring Twenties and in the decorative arts, became an integral part of the language of Art Deco.

A Near Lifesize Statuary Marble GroupBy Alfred BoucherLocated in Brighton, West SussexAlfred Boucher (French, 1850-1934), ‘Diana the Huntress’, A Near Lifesize Statuary Marble Group. Modelled nude with head turned looking to her left, striding forward holding the greyhound by its collar with her right hand and a giltwood bow in her left hand.

BOUCHER' Boucher’s choice of pose is deliberately indebted to the celebrated mid-16th century painting of Diana the Huntress by an anonymous artist of the School of Fontainebleau.

Another clear antecedent for Boucher’s ‘Diane the Huntress...Category
