Памятник воздушному шару

Clodion (Claude Michel) French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 552

Первый воздушный шар был запущен братьями Монтгольфье в 1783 году. Он продержался в воздухе всего десять минут, но это было знаменательное событие, которое массово праздновали. К концу года король Франции предложил воздвигнуть памятник в его честь. Клодион был одним из семи талантливых скульпторов, отобранных для этой работы. Его воздушная фантазия, в которой путти скатывали сено для запуска воздушного шара, ведомые Славой и богом ветра Эолом, была едва ли воплотима в мраморе. После того, как воздухоплавание стало более распространенным явлением, проект закрыли.
