Details

The Goddess, Artemis, caught in the moment she is bathing, nude after the hunt. She realises Actaeon has seen her forbidden nakedness, and she turns, one hand up to hide her breasts and the other casting her spell upon the unfortunate spy.

Harking back to the classical themes and exquisite execution of historical English figure sculpture, we have combined a more contemporary treatment of the female figure to reflect the modern and Ancient Greek emphasis on the athletic. For those who know and appreciate classical culture, and want something rare and tasteful to reflect their understanding.

This statue is partly a hymn to the English Jasperware tradition created by Josiah Wedgewood. The blue base and cream highlights echo the subtle beauty of that old English pottery, and are ideal for showing the exquisite musculature and vibrant form of the Goddess in motion, This is truly a superior sculpt of the nude, done to a level not often seen these days, and we want you to have this kind of beauty in your home to enjoy every day.
