Bust of Paris After Antonio Canova

Added: 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]Not many people start wars, this failure did. He's Paris. He had to choose between three goddesses and present the golden apple. It's a sculpture after Antonio Canova, described at the time by one of his critics as both voluptuous and heroic.

[00:00:15]It's an amazing thing, beautifully sculpted. I love the locks coming down beside his face, wearing his Phrygian cap, which is reminiscent of those later worn by the French during the French Revolution, where they had red versions of it.

[00:00:30]It's an amazing sculpture. It is coming up at our house and garden sale on the 8th and 9th of June. We'd love to see you at the viewing days before.
