EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century terracotta sculpture, titled "Flora," is an enchanting representation of the Roman goddess of flowers, spring, and fertility. The figure is depicted in full length, gracefully dressed in a flowing robe, adorned with intricate floral motifs, and holding a cornucopia brimming with blooms. The terracotta material lends a warm, earthy texture to the sculpture, while the modern painted and gilt wood base provides a striking contrast and elevates the piece as a museum-quality artifact. Originating from Europe, likely France, this sculpture is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century. The concept of Flora was deeply rooted in Roman mythology and religion, and her figure was often depicted in art and sculpture as a symbol of renewal, abundance, and beauty. The unknown creator of this masterpiece remains a mystery, adding to its allure and intrigue. The sculpture is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This magnificent work of art serves as a reminder of the enduring power of mythology and the beauty of the natural world, captured in the intricate details of this stunning terracotta figure.
