Bronze of "Ariadne Riding a Panther", After Johann Heinrich Dannecker

About the Item

Bronze group representing Ariadne riding a panther after a work by Johann Heinrich Dannecker. It represents a young nude woman wearing a crown of vine leaves as she is the wife of the god of wine Dionysus. She is represented in a calm attitude. It is to represent "the taming of wildness by beauty". Her slender and elongated body is typical of neoclassicism. The figures rest on a rectangular bronze plinth and a marble base. Our piece is a work from the middle of the 19th century. Johann Heinrich Dannecker (1758-1841) was a German artist who worked in Stuttgart for the Duke of Wuttemberg. He was very inspired by the Ancients. He drew the design of Ariadne riding a panther in 1803 and realized it in marble in 1814. This sculpture is now in the Liebieghaus museum in Frankfurt.

  • Very Large Bronze "Abduction of a Sabine Woman" After Giambologna, 19th Cent
    By Giambologna, Ferdinando de Luca
    Located in Paris, FR
    Very large bronze sculpture with brown patina, based on the group "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by John of Bologna (Giambologna). This pivoting composition shows three figures in motion: a man on the ground defeated with his shield turned upside down, a second one arched clutching a woman launched towards the sky trying to escape, all on a naturalistic base. The Sabine man, the Roman and the Sabine woman are all depicted naked. This staging plays on serpentine lines known as "figura serpentinata" and diagonals giving a beautiful variety of volumes and a multiplicity of angles of view. The bronze is signed F. De Luca...
