EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture titled "Victory (bronze)" by Alfred Gilbert. Housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this masterpiece is a testament to Gilbert's artistic brilliance. The bronze figure stands at 21.5 cm from toe to crown and exudes an aura of power and grace. With wings spread wide, she personifies victory and triumph, her trumpet held high as if announcing a glorious achievement. The allegorical representation of Victory is further emphasized by the palm frond she holds, symbolizing peace and success. Crafted with meticulous detail, this hollow bronze statue features a slightly green black patina that has worn down to reveal chestnut tones in certain folds of drapery. Mounted on a ball made of dark brown and white onyx, it rests upon an ebonized wood base. Gilbert's skillful execution brings life to this mythological figure, capturing both her ethereal beauty and strength. As you gaze upon this statuette through the lens of Bridgeman Images' camera lens, you can't help but be captivated by its timeless allure. This print not only celebrates Gilbert's artistry but also invites us into a realm where mythology intertwines with human imagination—a world where angels soar above us carrying messages of victory and hope.
