La vittoria

1892–1903; this cast, 1914 or after (by 1916)
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 771
Uno dei più importanti scultori dell’Ottocento, Saint-Gaudens appartenne alla prima generazione di artisti americani che si recarono a studiare a Parigi e che predilessero uno stile vivace e naturalistico. Questa statuetta è una versione ridotta della figura in dimensioni naturali che precede il generale della guerra civile William Tecumseh Sherman a cavallo nel monumento dedicato a Sherman, collocato nell’angolo sudorientale di Central Park a New York. Con il braccio destro proteso, l’eterea figura alata è una forza trainante caratterizzata dagli attributi tradizionali: la corona di alloro sul capo e un ramo di palma nella mano sinistra. Sul petto appare il blasone di un’aquila americana.
