Late 19th century
Emmanuel Villanis, although born in France in 1858 spent his childhood in Italy, his family's country of origin, and trained in sculpture at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin.
After exhibiting in Milan, the sculptor moved to Paris where he exhibited his works at the Salon in 1886; it will be exhibited 11 times between 1886 and 1910.
Emmanuel Villanis distinguished himself in the Art Nouveau and Orientalist movements, especially with female busts attesting to a fantasy Orient, very widespread in his time; the polychromy of the different patinas used for the complexion, the scarf and the base reinforce this chimerical exoticism.
His work is inspired by the great heroines of literature, of all mythologies

It features a nondescript mythical setting and a late nineteenth-century score, in which it's themes correlate to giving it a more classical feel, however, it was quite revolutionary for its time. The score was and still is recognized for its greatness. Delibes' work is certainly the best appreciated aspect of the ballet for its innovation, creativity, and maturity. Frederick Ashton's choreography complements the music very well in this respect, staying true to the spirit of the original production while incorporating modern techniques and adding his own unique touch. The ballet itself follows Sylvia who is a loyal follower of Diana (the goddess of the hunting and chassitity). The story starts with Sylvia being stalked by the diety Eros. When she discovers this they fire their bows at each other respectively. However only Eros's shot is true and wounds Sylvia. This is where she is kidnapped by an unknown assailant later revealed to be Orion. Sylvia escapes the caves of Orion by getting her captor intoxicated and pleading to Eros to rescue her. When he begrudgingly rescues her he takes her to the temple of Diana where her love awaits. This leads her to repeal her oath of Chassity taken as a follower of Diana.
