Based on the treasured Roman marble statue that is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, this Diana of Versailles Statue is a bronze miniature suitable for table top display. A larger bronze copy stands in the gardens of Fontainbleau. The Roman statue is a copy of a lost Greek bronze original attributed to Leochares. Also known as Diana a la Biche, Diane Chasseresse, Artemis of the Chase, and Artemis with the Hind, the marble statue displays Artemis or Diana running with an antlered buck. This bronze goddess figure replicates the intricate detailing of her pleated Dorian chiton and wrapped himation. She looks to the right, reaching for an arrow. The bow that she once held in her left hand has been lost in history, except for a small piece. The smaller than life buck leaps forward under her left hand. A miniature replica of the Diana of Versailles Statue stood on the fireplace mantle in the first class lounge of the Titanic. Whether you are a fan of classical mythology or doomed ocean liners, this beautiful figure of the huntress goddess makes an enchanting gift for you or a loved one.
