Companion of Diana III at the Louvre, Paris, France

myminifactory

Rene Fremin contributed to the group of the Companions of Diana in garden of Marly and his statue (signed 1717 and now in the Louvre) is one of the most vivacious. The nymph turns her head away and down, even as she steps briskly forward, expostulating half-playfully with the extremely lively greyhound which rears up at her side, its forepaws on her bow. As she gazes down, a smile hovers over her face (a typical Fremin touch), while the hound arches itself back in frisky anticipation. Vitality imbues the whole concept.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
