Rude was renowned for such stirring, politically charged works as <EM>Departure of the Volunteers</EM> of 1792 (known as <EM>La Marseillaise</EM>; 1833) on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Near the end of his life, he sculpted two works, this one and <EM>Cupid, Ruler of the World</EM> (1848–57; also in the museum in Dijon), in homage to the sculptors of ancient Greece; they comprised what Rude called his “artistic testament.” Hebe, the goddess of youth and Jupiter’s cupbearer, holds up the divine beverage, ambrosia, as the eagle strains toward it like a pet dog begging for a treat. Her teasing smile and gesture of gentle restraint recall the playfulness of eighteenth-century Rococo art, a vein later exploited by even the most severe of political artists, Jacques-Louis David, in <EM>Cupid and Psyche</EM> (1817; Cleveland Museum of Art).","remarks":"Sterling Morton rotation October 2010"}],"datebegin":1846,"sortnumber":"1978   36y","published_date":"2026-02-11 10:25:50.395518","objectid":31700,"dimensions":"h. 77.0 cm (30 5/16 in.)","on_view":false}
