La Victoire

1892–1903; this cast, 1914 or after (by 1916)
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 771
Figure du panthéon des sculpteurs du XIXe siècle, Augustus Saint-Gaudens fut de la première génération des artistes américains qui allèrent se former à Paris. Il adopta un style naturaliste plein d’énergie. Cette statuette est une réduction du personnage grandeur nature intégré au monument équestre érigé à la mémoire du général William Tecumseh Sherman, dans le coin sud-est de Central Park, à New York. Bras droit tendu, cette délicate Victoire ailée, parée des attributs traditionnels — couronne de lauriers et palme à la main gauche — montre la voie avec conviction. On voit sur sa poitrine l’aigle éployée, emblème des États-Unis.
