Twelve Dancers 1785 - 1815

"Twelve Dancers" is a gilded bronze relief sculpture created by Luigi Manfredini between 1785 and 1815. The sculpture depicts a female figure in a flowing robe, holding a round object in her right hand. The figure’s flowing drapery creates a dynamic and graceful form. The sculpture is a prime example of Neoclassical art, and its delicate details and smooth, polished surfaces evoke the aesthetic of the period. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
