Victory, 1892-1903 (bronze gilt) by Augustus Saint-Gaudens - A Symbol of Triumph and Equality
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the magnificent sculpture "Victory, 1892-1903" created by renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Standing at an impressive height of 96.5 cm, this bronze gilt masterpiece can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Originally cast between 1914 and 1916, this adaptation is based on a larger equestrian monument dedicated to Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman. The focal point of the sculpture is a winged allegorical figure representing Victory herself. Adorned in a classical gown embellished with an eagle and laurel crown, she holds a palm frond - traditional symbols of triumph. What makes this artwork even more remarkable is its historical significance. The principal model for Victory was Hettie Anderson, an African-American woman who was highly esteemed as a favored artists' muse during that era in New York City. With her triumphant wings spread wide and poised atop a pedestal, Victory stands as an emblematic representation of success and achievement. This gilded memorial serves not only as a tribute to General Sherman but also as an allegory for victory itself. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and the inclusive message it conveys about equality and diversity within American history.
