Diane à la biche is a bronze statue housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, within its art collections. The figure represents Diana with her symbolic deer. This eighteenth-century casting presents the Roman goddess of the hunt reaching towards arrows in her quiver. Her gesture gives the bronze a clear sense of movement. The work copies Diane de Versailles, a piece associated with the French royal collections. That model came from an ancient Roman marble. The Roman marble drew inspiration from a lost Greek bronze attributed to the sculptor Leochares. Leochares is also associated with the Apollo Belvedere. Louis XIV commissioned this bronze version from the Keller brothers for royal gardens. The sculpture stood in Versailles and Marly among other royal settings. Its artistic lineage connects Greek, Roman, and French traditions through several sculptural forms. The bronze carries classical ideas of beauty and movement. Diana’s figure links the work with hunting, purity, and classical mythology. The Louvre’s sculpture collections include works from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and modern times. Wheelchair access is listed for this Louvre location.
