Introduction

The history of harriet hosmer daphne bust statue

Hosmer did not depict a dramatic escape moment, but instead created a serene image with the laurel branches as the end of the bust, symbolizing Daphne’s transformation. This work is consistent with Hosmer’s neoclassical training in Rome. Hosmer is one of the many active American female sculptors in Rome.

Hosmer chose Daphne bust statue as the subject of her first independent work, which caused extensive discussion among art historians. Many people interpreted the terrible sacrifice made by the goddess to escape God’s possession as Hosmer deliberately despised the tradition. I don’t want to stay single.
