Flora 1764

"Flora," a terracotta sculpture by Louis Claude Vassé, embodies the spirit of nature in the 18th century. Created in 1764, the piece depicts a graceful young woman adorned with flowers, personifying the Roman goddess of springtime and flowers. The sculpture's delicate details and naturalistic pose capture the beauty and vitality of nature, making it a popular example of Rococo sculpture, a style known for its elegance and playful charm. This work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
