BOURDELLE, Émile-Antoine
(b. 1861, Montauban, d. 1929, Le Vésinet)

Night

1904
Bronze, height 61 cm
Musée Bourdelle, Paris

Bourdelle gave us an allegory of the night, a figure derived from Michelangelo. It is a kind of grotesque mask with which to enter the new century, hiding its face so that we can see only the eyes.
