Statue
Statue is a subject in art. The gallery holds 30 works in this subject in art, including works by Titian, Jean Léon Gérôme and Camille Pissarro.
The depiction of statues within paintings — a picture-within-a-picture device — was a common convention from the Renaissance onward, signaling classical learning, funerary commemoration, or allegorical meaning. Dutch and Flemish painters placed niches with marble figures in domestic interiors; academic painters included antique sculpture in studio and library settings.
