The West Wind Sculpture Introduction
The West Wind is one of seven very similar statues carved in the 1870s by Thomas Ridgeway Gould at his studio in Florence, Italy. One of these seven neo-classical statues—all gleaming white marble, larger than life size—was prominently displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.
Gould has created a nineteenth-century example of the ancient classical Greek aesthetic ideal, casting the body in a classical counterbalanced pose. The figure’s head is turned in one direction, the left arm and right foot in another, and the left leg thrust forward as she balances on the balls of her feet.
Fine Carving Details of the West Wind Sculpture
The details of this West Wind Sculpture are amazing. The woman seems only momentarily motionless; the twisted pose, the glance over her shoulder, and the billowing skirt all suggest her movement forward. Furthermore, by resting the flowing drapery on the upthrust portion of the base, Gould has created a counterweight that gives the impression of the figure leaning forward.
