EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze statuette, titled "The removal of Dejanire by the centaur Nessus" is a masterpiece created by Jean de Bologna, also known as Giambologna. Standing at a height of 42 cm, this artwork can be found in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The sculpture depicts a dramatic scene from Greek mythology, where the centaur Nessus kidnaps Dejanire. The intricate details and craftsmanship bring this ancient tale to life. Every curve and muscle on both figures is meticulously carved, showcasing Giambologna's exceptional skill. Nessus, with his powerful horse-like body and human torso, forcefully lifts Dejanire off her feet. Her expression reveals fear and desperation as she tries to escape his grasp. This dynamic composition captures the intensity of the moment and evokes strong emotions within viewers. Giambologna's mastery shines through in every aspect of this piece - from the fluid movement to the delicate facial expressions. The artist's ability to convey tension and drama through metalwork is truly remarkable. As you gaze upon this extraordinary print captured by Photo Josse, you are transported back in time to witness an iconic mythological event unfold before your eyes. It serves as a testament to Giambologna's artistic genius and leaves an indelible impression on all who encounter it at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
