Antique 19th Century French Bronze Sculpture of Diana the Huntress by A. Moreau
About the Item
Dimensions - H: 19 1/4 in W: 20 in D: 8 in
This exceptional late 19th-century French bronze sculpture by the renowned artist Auguste Moreau (1834–1917) presents an elegant and powerful representation of Diana the Huntress, the ancient Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt. This exquisite piece encapsulates the grace, strength, and classical beauty that defined the Beaux-Arts tradition of the time. Cast in fine patinated bronze with a partial ormolu base, the figure is masterfully detailed, capturing a dog, putti and Diana Sitting with bow in hand, flowing robes, and a poised, determined expression that embodies both feminine power and divine mystique.
Auguste Moreau, a celebrated sculptor of the Belle Époque, was known for his expressive and naturalistic portrayals of mythological and allegorical subjects. This particular sculpture showcases his signature attention to anatomy, motion, and emotional resonance. The dynamic pose and superb craftsmanship make this a standout work of decorative art and an iconic representation of one of mythology’s most enduring figures.
Notably, Diana the Huntress—also known as Artemis in Greek mythology—served as one of the key inspirations for the modern super heroine Wonder Woman. The ideals Diana represents—courage, justice, independence, and a deep connection to nature—are echoed in the powerful fictional character who bears her name and continues to inspire generations. Owning this piece is not just an acquisition of antique beauty, but a connection to the mythological roots of a modern feminist icon.
This rare bronze is mounted on a period-appropriate base, enhancing its classical aura and making it ideal for display in a curated interior or private collection. A true statement piece, it embodies both the artistry of 19th-century French sculpture and the timeless narrative of female empowerment. The bronze is in good antique condition with the exception of some oxidation to the bronze and some very minor light surface scratches as to be expected with items of age and use.
