About the Item

Aegina was one of the daughters of the river god Asopus and his wife, the river nymph Metope. The couple had many daughters, and most of them became the object of desire of either Zeus or Apollo. Aegina caught the eye of Zeus, but she was unwilling to be his consort. Refusing to be denied, Zeus transformed himself into a great eagle and abducted the girl, taking her to the island now known as Aegina, then called Oenone. This elegant patinated bronze figural statue depicts the dynamic moment where Zeus steals Aegina. She is thrown off balance, about to fall into Zeus' great eagle wings that cascade over the statues composition, creating a multitude of beautiful shapes and dramatic shadows as its viewed from multiple vantage points. Resting on rouge marble base that can be seen in the last two photos. Signed on base: Coulon French 19th Century Bronze 36.25" x 19" x 16"
