Carpeaux Goodies
Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (1827-1875) has long been one of my favorite sculptors, and therefore I think it's fitting that I feature him in the first sculpture posting here. One of my favorite Carpeaux sculptures is The Triumph of Flora, but I never knew where it was located...
Imperial France Enlightening the World and The Triumph of Flora, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, 1863-1866
The Triumph of Flora, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, 1865
Here are some other great Carpeaux sculptures...
Eve Tempted, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, 1871
The Dance, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, 1867-1869

Those are nice. Have you seen Alfred Gilbert's work?

The model that posed for Eve Tempted had to be hating it--looks uncomfortable.

"le Triomphe de Flore" is in "le Pavillon du Louvre, the main court yard where the pyramid is in the Louvre museum, in Paris. It is the north-east facade. Yes, and it is beautiful.

Yes, I have seen some of Alfred Gilbert's work. Do you have something in particular to recommend?

Re: "The Bather"... I've been to the beach lots of times, and I've NEVER seen a woman just sitting there like that! How did Bouguereau get so lucky? =)
