Fame 1700 - 1715

"Fame," a bronze sculpture by Antoine Coysevox, depicts a winged figure astride a rearing horse, trumpeting its message of renown. Created between 1700-1715, the sculpture demonstrates the artist's mastery of Baroque style with its dynamic composition and emphasis on movement. The figure's outstretched arm and the horse's powerful posture convey a sense of energy and dynamism. The ornate base, crafted from marble, adds to the grandeur of the sculpture. This artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring power of fame.
