Particular and original porcelain reproduction in Pop Art style of the "Diana of Versailles"; the bust rests on a square black base also made of porcelain; the artifact was made between 2009 and 2010 in a craft workshop in Capodimonte, a hilly area of Naples (Italy). It was there in 1743 that King Charles of Bourbon and his wife Amalia of Saxony founded the Royal Factory of Capodimonte, dedicated to porcelain manufacture, within the palace of the same name. The idea of the sovereigns was to create precious objects on par with those produced by the German factory in Meissen, famous for its ceramics. The royals' wish was amply fulfilled because soon the Neapolitan porcelain tradition not only equaled the Teutonic tradition but, in all likelihood, surpassed it, resulting in true masterpieces. The porcelains of the Neapolitan Capodimonte tradition are distinguished by their distinctive milky color, greater firmness, and transparency, due to the absence of kaolin in the body, which is, therefore, composed of a fusion of clays from the quarries of the Mezzogiorno mixed with abundant feldspar. The bust is inspired by the statue of "Diana of Versailles" ", also known as "Diane de Gabies," which is a famous ancient marble statue depicting the goddess Artemis. It is believed to be a Roman copy of a Greek original from the 4th century BC. The sculpture is currently kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The original "Diana of Versailles" is a full-length statue, and there are no original half-length versions of the statue. The many reproductions and replicas of half-length Diana made over time are the product of the imagination of the many artisans who made them. The goddess Diana, called Artemis by the Greeks, is the daughter of Zeus and sister of Apollo. She is associated primarily with hunting, wilderness, childbirth, and virginity. Artemis is often depicted as a goddess of the hunt with a bow and arrow, accompanied by hunting dogs or deer. Artemis was revered by various cultures throughout the ancient world, and her mythology evolved over time. She was revered as the protector of young women and a guardian of wildlife. Artemis was also associated with the moon, often depicted with a crescent moon on her forehead. Pop Art emerged in the mid-1950s as a reaction against traditional notions of art. It celebrated the mundane, everyday objects and images of popular culture, elevating them to the status of high art. Artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg were key figures in the movement. Our Diana in its Pop Art style realization with vibrant and exuberant colors breaks away from classicism, while remaining in a pleasant and bold contemporary aestheticism that allows it to be placed with elegance and original sophistication in any type of decor. The object is in excellent condition. Measures width cm.29, depth cm.18, height cm.47. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (custom-made wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects
