About the Item
Evelyn Beatrice Longman was a trailblazing female artist getting major commissions at the very begining of the 20th century.
Having lived in New York City, I used to walk by the life size version of this in Philip Johnson's ATT Building and
it left me breathless every time. This classical bronze statue of a victorious and handsome young man is called "Victory" or "The Victor". It depicts an athletic young Greco- Roman man wearing cuirass and greaves is decorated with acanthus patterning. In a celebratory manner, he raises hands above his head. In his left hand, he holds traditional symbols of victory: oak leaves and a laurel wreath and is standing atop a globe or sphere and is attached to a circular black onyx base. . A similar version of this bronze is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was conceived as a larger work in 1903 in a monumental form for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, in Saint Louis, Missouri, in 1904. In 1908 there were smaller reductions. This later cast is one and is stunning with a rich beautiful bronze with shiny brown patina. Sotheby's Arcade Paintings, 2006 - Incribed No 20 © Evelyn B. Longman and dated 1908 on the spherical base. inscribed Roman Bronze Works N.Y. on the rim of the base. The copyright symbol © was introduced in the United States in section 18 of the Copyright Act of 1909 - This cast came after 1909. Best known for sculpting the "Genius of Electricity" (originally called the "Spirit of Communication" and informally known as the Golden Boy) atop the AT&T Building on Broadway in Manhattan, the sculptor Evelyn Beatrice Longman was the first woman sculptor to be elected a full member of the National Academy of Design in 1919.
