One of the most popular themes in classical art, this nymph is a recreation of the French sculptor Joseph Charles Marin’s art, where these magical creatures were evoked and celebrated.
A minor deity in antiquity, nymphs were seen as mysterious residents of the world, who had the power to allure, bless and help human beings.
As a mantle piece of artistic value, this brass sculpture presents a youthful nymph, her distant gaze leading the onlooker to a faraway space, probably her legendary abode.
The nymph wears a cap, luscious locks that flow around her face, and a gown adorned with floral strings to secure the delicate layer of the garments.
The bust is placed on a metal base, with a plate, that was used to etch the name of the artist, a sign for centuries.
A subject rooted in Greco-Roman lores, the nymph is sculpted here with such realism, that she seems quite familiar- someone who can reside in your space, and when you are least expecting, take you on an imaginary quest to the classical era.
