Metropolitan Museum of Art - Winter

  



1. The Winter or LA FILEUSE  was sculptured by Jean-Antoine Houdon. The medium for the sculptured is bronze. It was sculpted in 1787.
2. The artist was attempting to bear witness to the season Winter. He incorporated this by choosing a female body.
3. The artist communicate this story visually by sculpturing a women standing with a scant coving her head and body. Also her hands are wrapped around her indicating that she is cold or caught a chill.
4. The sculpture was massively cast in one picec by the lost-wax process and delicately tooled.
5. The materials or manner the artist applied help visualize the story he was try to teel. It made the viewers understand the sculpture more.
6. Other thought I have about the sculpture is I would to know why the artist choose a female to represent the season winter. Is it because they said women are so cold heart, just joking.
