Sculptor Ernest Massuet

Porcelain sculpture depicting Diana, the mythical Roman goddess of hunting and the protector of nature and the moon.

This depiction of the goddess Diana is made in porcelain. In this imposing creation she is shooting with bow and arrow, as she appears in countless classical artworks. It is made in in satin matte porcelain. Worth underscoring in this composition are the many meticulously etched details of her clothing, like the floral motifs on her gown, bracelets and headdress which are all decorated in a wealth of earthy tones, set off by touches of golden luster. The moon that Diana wears around her neck is the symbol of the goddess and is the main motif of Moon jewelry. A bracelet and a pendant made in white porcelain decorated with golden luster and a soft leather cord.

Lladro 01009492 Atlas

This wonderful Atlas, handcrafted in matte white porcelain, is now joining the Myths Collection, a series dedicated to the great Greek and Roman gods of old.

Atlas, son of Iapetus and the nymph Clymene, led the rebellion of the Titans against Zeus and, as a punishment, he was condemned to hold up the sky on his shoulders… Countless legends exist about this strong man who bore the weight of the celestial spheres to keep them separate from the earth and maintain the balance of the universe. He was also attributed with great learning in mathematics and astrology. Making this Atlas required a set of 12 different molds to create the porcelain fragments to compose the final piece. To further enhance the strength of this god, it was decided not to apply any other color except for some carefully chosen touches of golden luster and the iridescent metalized enamels of the sphere.

A spectacular sculpture made in black porcelain, inspired by the legendary gladiators of the Roman empire.

"This creation represents with amazing faithfulness and detail the figure of a gladiator. Warriors who defended their lives fighting against other gladiators or against wild beasts to entertainment the public in the Roman arena. This sculpture speaks of men who defended their life with honor and fortitude, despite the circumstances they had to endure. Made in black porcelain, it is decorated with copper, dark grey and black enamels with metallic effects, combined with the aged silver luster in the armor. The shield is decorated with black luster with marble effect and the helmet is also decorated with aged silver luster. The sword, which almost looks like real metal, is porcelain. In addition, the piece comes with a removable metal mask covering the gladiator’s face which is held in place by an ingenious system of magnets. A truly unique work, striking for both its size and for the sculptural treatment."
