O soše

Agostino Cornacchini carved Sleeping Endymion in 1716; the sculpture is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The young shepherd's beauty captivated Selene, the moon personified. She asked Zeus to make him immortal, and Zeus agreed on condition that Endymion remain asleep forever. Cornacchini's treatment moves away from the abrupt action and light effects of Baroque sculpture. Its quieter forms reflect the preference for gentler movement that developed during the eighteenth century. On view in room 216A, French and German.

Slovy muzea

Cornacchini moved away from the dramatic movement and light effects characteristic of baroque sculpture toward a calmer, gentler, more graceful style favored by 18th-century taste. This sculpture depicts Endymion, a beautiful young shepherd from Greek mythology. His beauty so entranced Selene, the personification of the moon, that she asked Zeus to grant Endymion immortality. Zeus did so, but only after placing Endymion in an eternal sleep.
