The Loire Water Nymph
The Loire Water Nymph
Inspired by Jean Goujon's Fountaine des Innocents, Paris
Our beautiful nymph named for one of France’s major waterways, hails from the exquisite Renaissance fountain in Paris' Square des Innocents. Sheltered within the stately architectural frame of a Roman arch wall niche, it beckons with graceful gesture counterbalanced by the water urn she carries. We’ve replicated this classic niche sculpture in designer resin to capture the intricate details, then finished it in faux stone as a perfect accompaniment to your formal space or luxury bath.
Each approx. 6½"Wx3½"Dx18"H. 2 lbs.

Jean Goujon (c.1510- c. 1565)
Jean Goujon was the foremost French sculptor of the 16th century; his most well known work is a series of reliefs for the Fountain of the Innocents. Not only a sculptor, but an architect as well, Goujon was one of the main players in the French Renaissance.
Goujon s sculptures are prime examples of the mannerism movement in France. His figures are elongated, sensual and fluid, as well as reminiscent of Greek sculpture. Goujon s graceful and pure style influenced the decorative arts in France for centuries to follow.
His most famous works include a series of water nymphs for the Fountain of the Innocents in Paris and other sculptures on the faade of the Louvre.

"I ordered the set of all 4 Water Nymphs for above the mater bath jacuzzi. They are not the sepia tone but a sage sort of green and a deep brown where the picture shows a darker color. The Numphs are a light stone beige painted finish. The sage green works really well for me but, you should know it is rather dominate in the scheme. I would buy them again -- they look very nice over the jacuzzi giving a formal look which was what I was after!"
