Beschreibung:

Goddess saves Princess from Death!

The story goes that King Agamemnon had to sacrifice his daughter Iphigeneia to the goddess Artemis in order to have a favourable wind for Troy. The story is well known from Greek myths and from the tragedy “Iphigeneia in Aulis” by Euripides from the 400s BC.

The statue group shows the goddess Artemis, who at the last minute saves the young girl Iphigeneia, by dragging her away from the altar on which she is about to be sacrificed. Artemis grabs the antlers of a deer and hauls the animal into her place.

In this representation in marble the statue of the goddess was originally covered entirely in gold leaf, while Iphigeneia’s dress was painted in vivid colours.
