Description

Athena was a favorite subject for artists in the Renaissance and Neoclassical eras. In this work, the goddess Athena, embodied in bronze, is armed with helmet, shield, and spear, revealing her classic beauty. In particular, her posture, mid-spear- throw, and emphasis of this action through the articulation of her wind- swept clothing are reminiscent (representative) of the style of Walter Schulze-Thewis, a 19th-century German sculptor who the piece is attributed to. - (PH.0200)
