Hebe 1816

"Hebe", a marble statue sculpted by an anonymous artist in 1816, is a prime example of Neoclassical art. The statue depicts the Greek goddess Hebe, known for her role as cupbearer to the gods on Mount Olympus. Hebe is portrayed with a delicate grace, standing in a flowing gown, holding a small bowl in her hand and a pitcher at her side. This statue is currently located in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The statue's idealized form and classical drapery are reminiscent of ancient Greek sculpture, highlighting the Neoclassical movement's interest in classical antiquity.
