The Sleeping Faun - A Whimsical Masterpiece of Neoclassical Sculpture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Sleeping Faun" a remarkable marble sculpture created by Harriet Goodhue Hosmer in 1870. Hosmer, a prominent American artist working in Italy during the mid-1800s, was renowned for her mastery of the neoclassical style. In this enchanting composition, we see a pointed-eared woodland spirit peacefully slumbering. The faun's half-human, half-goat form is playfully tied to a tree stump by a mischievous satyr. This whimsical touch reflects Hosmer's playful sense of humor and adds an element of surprise to the artwork. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art, Hosmer skillfully captures the essence of classical sculpture with her attention to detail and fluid lines. The sleeping faun exudes tranquility as he rests amidst lush grapes and foliage, transporting us into a world where mythology comes alive. Measuring 127x152.4 cm and weighing an impressive 1500 lbs. , this monumental piece now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Signed and inscribed on its base with "H HOSMER Fecit -- Romae" (made by H. Hosmer in Rome) and titled "THE SLEEPING FAUN" it stands as a testament to both Hosmer's artistic prowess and her contribution as one of America's most celebrated female artists. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate the beauty and wonder that emanates from this mythical creature—a wonderful character brought to life through stone.
