About the Item

Bust of Diana the Huntress French Louis XVI Bronze 19th Century - Artist Houdon Bronze sculpture representing Diana the huntress after Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828). In Roman mythology, Diana is the goddess of the hunt and the night, similar to Artemis in Greek mythology. She is depicted wearing a robe with a crescent moon on her head. Jean-Antoine Houdon, passionate about the art of casting, made two large bronzes of Diana herself in the Roule workshops in Paris, one in 1782 (San Marino, California) and the other in 1790 (Paris, Louvre Museum).
