Draped Drapery Leaning Mask Phylactery Theatrical Neo Classical Neoclassical

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite detail of the Moliere Fountain, Light Comedy, a magnificent marble sculpture created by James Pradier in 1844. Standing at an impressive height of 250 cm, this neoclassical masterpiece is located in Paris, France at the corner of rue de Richelieu and rue Moliere. The photograph showcases a close-up view of this iconic fountain, focusing on its intricate features. The female figure depicted in the sculpture stands elegantly with her full-length body leaning slightly forward. She is draped in flowing fabric that adds a sense of movement to the statue's composition. A phylactery adorns her hand, symbolizing her connection to theater and drama. The presence of a mask further emphasizes this theatrical theme and pays homage to Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Moliere (1622-73), one of France's most renowned playwrights. With its classical aesthetic combined with elements of Romanticism, this neoclassical artwork represents a harmonious blend between two artistic movements. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers even today. Photographed by Studio Giraudon in 1920, this image allows us to appreciate every delicate detail captured through their lens. As we admire this stunning piece from afar or up close like never before thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts for historical artworks like these.
