Ariadne and the Panther, Art Deco Sculpture in Wood and Brass, 1920s
About the Item
This captivating Art Deco sculpture, created around 1920, is inspired by the depiction of Ariadne, the heroine of Greek mythology, atop a majestic panther in motion. Crafted from carved wood, with the panther's tail made of brass, the piece embodies the style and sophistication characteristic of the early 20th century.
The scene reflects an artistic and mythological interpretation symbolizing the union between beauty and untamed nature. Here, Ariadne, abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos, finds solace and protection in the panther. The sculpture can be seen as a symbol of feminine resilience, overcoming adversity, and reconnecting with nature.
With its elegant dynamism and expressive details, this work not only captures the splendor of Art Deco but also the creative freedom artists of the time embraced when reinterpreting classical mythology. Perfect for collectors and art lovers, this piece stands out for its sophisticated design and its story rich in symbolism.
This piece is believed to originate from Central Europe, possibly Germany or Austria, where Art Deco reached its peak through stylized forms, streamlined lines, and timeless cultural references. Despite showing restorations and minor imperfections, it retains a strong visual impact and value as a collectible object.
