Heed the call of the hunt with the Bronze Atalanta of Arcadia Statue. Inspired by Atalanta from Greek mythology, this stunning statue is the perfect addition to your themed decor.
Inspired by Greek Mythology
Crafted from cold cast bronze, this Greek mythology statue depicts Atalanta, Princess of Arcadia, in her fabled footrace with a boar companion running to keep up. Every detail is painted by hand. Starting with the focal point of the design, Atalanta is depicted leaning over to pick up two of the three golden apples dropped for her by Hippomenes, her suitor and future husband. Hippomenes is not depicted in this statue, but the three apples given to him by Aphrodite are. These apples represent the second part of Atalanta’s story, when Hippomenes beseeched the aid of Aphrodite to win the affection of Atalanta.
Atalanta’s realistically textured hair is long and tied in a ponytail at the back. It billows in the imaginary wind as she runs. Atalanta is also wearing a peplos, a type of ancient Greek tunic. The peplos is carved to look like real fabric moving with Atalanta as she runs, adding a sense of dynamic movement to the design. Around Atalanta’s neck is a necklace with a pendant in the center. In both hands, Atalanta is holding the golden apples as depicted in the mythological tale. The third and final apple rests by Atalanta’s right foot.
Moving down the length, the boar has realistic fur texture along its body. The boar represents the first trial of Atalanta, when she returned to Arcadia and joined the hunt, wounding the boar with her first arrow. Its front and back hooves are raised as if in mid-gallop, adding more dynamic movement to the design. Underneath, the base is textured to look like rock and dirt. A plaque on the side reads “ATALANTA.”
