The history of harriet hosmer daphne bust statue
In Greek mythology, Apollo’s first love was harriet hosmer daphne, a fairy who evaded marriage and vowed to keep virginity forever. In order to avoid God, Daphne prayed to God, and when he wanted to catch up with her, she became a laurel tree.
Hosmer did not depict a dramatic escape moment, but instead created a serene image with the laurel branches as the end of the bust, symbolizing Daphne’s transformation. This work is consistent with Hosmer’s neoclassical training in Rome. Hosmer is one of the many active American female sculptors in Rome.
Hosmer’s ambitious young sculptor will be impressed. In Greek mythology, harriet hosmer daphne bust statue is a Nayate, a water fairy, the daughter of the river god. Despite the many versions of Daphne and Apollo, Hosmer is likely to be inspired by the Roman poet Ovid’s Metamorphosis.
In short, Daphne became ruthlessly pursuing the object of love that her Apollo god did not need. In response to her desperate request, her father turned Daphne into a laurel tree.
Hosmer chose Daphne bust statue as the subject of her first independent work, which caused extensive discussion among art historians. Many people interpreted the terrible sacrifice made by the goddess to escape God’s possession as Hosmer deliberately despised the tradition. I don’t want to stay single.
