| Description |
English: This bronze (along with Walters 27.181) are reductions of the stone sculptures that the architect Hector-Martin Lefuel (1810-1880) commissioned in 1866 for the Carrousel entrance, a narrow, double passageway leading into the courtyard of the Louvre. Barye adhered to the ancient Roman tradition of showing nude male figures leaning against upturned water urns as symbols of rivers. These particular bronzes were cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne, who acquired the models at the artist's estate sale in 1876.
Originally, the "River Gods" flanked Barye's large relief of Napoleon III dressed as a Roman emperor and mounted on a horse. After the fall of Napoleon III in 1870, the relief was removed and replaced by Antonin Mercié's (1845-1916) allegorical sculpture "The Genius of the Arts." |
