Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Important 19th-century statue of Amalthea in finely chased and gilded bronze, depicting a semi-nude woman seated on a rock with the goat Amalthea.
The bronze rests on a base with round Turquin marble feet.
Cast by Ferdinand Barbedienne, after Pierre Julien (1731–1804).
Foundry mark of Achille Colas.
The original is in marble and dates from 1787.

About: Pierre Julien, born in Saint-Paulien on June 20, 1731, and died in Paris on December 17, 1804, was a French Neoclassical sculptor. About: Amalthea is sometimes depicted as a goat who nursed the child-god in a cave on the Cretan mountain Aigaion (Mount of Goats), sometimes as a nymph who tends goats and whose parentage is uncertain (daughter of Oceanus, Helios, Haemonius, or, according to Lactantius, Melissa). The presence of multiple and uncertain mythological parents indicates that a deity is widely worshipped in many cultures with varied local traditions. Other names, such as Adrasteia, Ide, the nymph of Mount Ida, or Ida, which appear in mythology textbooks, are simply duplicates of Amalthea.
