"19th-century French School - Neo-gothic Harpy "
This walnut wood sculpture, depicting a harpy, is a typical example of the 19th-century Neo-Gothic style. Inspired by medieval art and Greek mythology, it blends human and animal figures in an ambiguous pose. The harpy, a symbol of the duality between the celestial and the monstrous, evokes the gargoyles and chimeras of Gothic cathedrals, designed to ward off evil spirits.
