: • ATALANTA Marble, Italy 1-2 AD. restored 17 AD. Louvre, Paris @museelouvre . "Only the head and body are ancient; they once belonged to a copy of a hunting Artemis from the 2nd c. BC. The 17th-century restorer filled in the missing parts to make an Atalanta, the heroine of the Metamorphoses by ... Ovid, who was beaten in a race by Hippomenes. Acquired in Rome by Cardinal Mazarin [1602-1661], the statue was bought in 1665 for the king of France, Louis XIV. It became very famous and was copied for the park of the Chateau de Marly of the Tuileries Garden." [ ©Louvre ] .

: • ARTEMIS | Ἄρτεμις Goddess of the hunt, known as the 'Diana of Versailles' Marble Roman 2nd c AD. copy after the Leochares' original dated ca 330 BC. [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leochares ] . "This statue, the first significant antiquity to enter the French royal collection, is striking for the dynamic position of the body. The statue moved around with the French royal court: In Fontainebleau from 1556, it came to the Louvre's Hall of Antiquities in 1602, then went to Versailles in 1696 before returning to the Louvre a century later." [ ©Louvre ] . After all my visits to the Louvre, last time in January I finally took an op to consider my photo version of this masterpiece, since everyone takes pictures of it anyway. I hope this outlook of mine will add up some 'personalized' flavor to the image and its numerous other shots circulating in media. .
