Dreams
"I believe I can fly"...
Initially, Fame, from Pierre Biard (1559-1609) was blowing in a trumpet. It's part of a special exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum: "Cast in bronze: French sculpture from the Renaissance to the Revolution".
Et pourquoi ne pas s'envoler...
Au depart, cette statue de Pierre Biard portait a ses levres une trompette. Elle fait partie d'une exposition au Metropolitan Museum intitulée: "Cast in bronze: French sculpture from the Renaissance to the Revolution".

Fabulous capture with that light you do so well. The viewer completes the composition.

Elle est doublement belle cette statue avec ses ombres sur ce fond abricot. Très beau !
La renommée était un peu trop tapageuse ...... on lui a oté sa trompette. Un peu d'humilité, que diable !
Très joli effet d'ombre.
Fab shot, made even more fabulous by the man but in particular those wonderful shadows.
C'est que quelqu'un avait besoin d'une trompette pour s'entraîner! (Pas facile de faire sortir un son quand on n'en a pas l'habitude.)
I really like both exhibition shots! Compositions are truly fantastic and the shadows on this one are awesome!
The shadows really expand the effect of the work. I wonder what the trumpet was made of.
I still think about La Frileuse.
He is dreaming and marvelling about the intension of this great art-work.
You captured this image just the right moment.
PS.
I offer a small series "Beside Artworks", taken in the MoMA, if you like:

J'aime beaucoup le jeu d'ombres derrière lui !
So this is where it is!! Normally it should be at the Louvre! (... and today when I walked around the Luxemburg Gardens, the Statue of Liberty was gone as well!!)
Sounds like a great exhibition. I love sculpture; this piece is lovely. I like the shadows and onlooker gazing at the statue.
I envy your access to such a museum!
Your photography, as usual, is stunning!
Ohooh, how did you manage this? We're not supposed to take photos in special exhibitions. I was scholded by the guards. And I am museum staff, lol! Great pic.
