The topic of the "Atlas sculpture" typically refers to statues or sculptures depicting Atlas, a figure from Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan condemned by Zeus to bear the weight of the heavens on his shoulders for eternity.

Sculptors often depicted Atlas as a strong and stoic figure holding the celestial sphere. These sculptures were created in various materials, including marble and bronze. Renaissance and Baroque Periods: The themes of classical mythology experienced a revival during the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Europe. Artists like Michelangelo and Bernini incorporated Atlas and other mythological figures into their works. Atlas became a symbol of strength and endurance in these artistic representations. 18th and 19th Centuries: The neoclassical movement in the 18th and 19th centuries drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art. Atlas continued to be a popular subject during this period, with sculptors creating statues that emphasized the muscular and heroic qualities of the figure. Modern and Contemporary Art: The Atlas motif has persisted into modern and contemporary art. Artists often reinterpret the theme, exploring different styles and materials. Some sculptures may be more abstract or symbolic, while others adhere closely to the traditional representation. Public Art and Monuments: Atlas sculptures can be found in various public spaces around the world. Some cities have iconic statues of Atlas displayed in parks, squares, or as part of architectural structures. These sculptures often serve as symbols of strength, endurance, or the weight of responsibility. Overall, Atlas sculptures have been a recurring theme in the visual arts, symbolizing the enduring human struggle and the weight of responsibility.

XIX Century Newfoundland Labrador Sculpture (Devezas Ceramics)

Located in Lisboa, PT

The Newfoundland Labrador dog, commonly referred to as the Newfoundland or Newfie, is a large and strong breed known for its gentle and sweet nature. It originated from the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, where it was originally bred as a working dog for tasks such as hauling fishing nets, pulling carts, and rescuing people from water. Key characteristics of the Newfoundland breed include its massive size, with males typically weighing between 130-150 pounds (59-68 kg) and females between 100-120 pounds (45-54 kg). They have a thick double coat that is water-resistant, which helps them excel in water activities and also provides protection in cold climates. The coat can come in various colors, including black, brown, gray, and Landseer (white with black markings). Newfoundlands are known for their gentle and calm demeanor, making them excellent family pets and great with children. They are often described as "gentle giants" due to their patient and affectionate nature. Despite their size, they are generally good-natured and friendly with strangers and other animals. These dogs require regular grooming due to their thick coats, and they also need moderate exercise to stay healthy and happy. They enjoy activities like swimming, hiking, and participating in water sports. Additionally, early socialization and training are important to ensure they grow up to be well-behaved companions. Overall, the Newfoundland Labrador dog is a beloved breed known for its loyalty, gentle nature, and versatility in various roles, from family pet to working dog. The Fábrica de Cerâmica das Devesas (Devesas Ceramic Factory) was established in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1865 and was, at the time, one of the largest and best equipped producers of ceramics.[1] Founded by António Almeida e Costa...
