ARIADNE ON THE PANTHER.
Johann Helnrich Dannecker whose mast¬ erpiece this statue is, was born at Walden- burg near Stuggart in 1758. His father was
a stableman to the Duke of Wurtemburg and to his mother does he owe his flne ar¬ tistic tastes. She it was who sent him to the Duke's school against his father's bit¬ ter opposition to learn drawing and music. Schiller was a lad at the same school and here the friendship was formed which lasted through life. He was later placed under a professor of sculpture at Stuttgart and was employed by the Duke executing decora¬ tions for some of his palaces. Receiving a small annual allowance from his patron he passed two years at I'aris and flve at Rome, returning to Stuttgart to be appointed pro¬ fessor In Fine Arts in the Academy. He passed the balance of his life at Stuttgart dying at the ripe age of 8.8. Dannecker's works consist mostly of single flgures, spe¬ cially female flgures, are unsurpassed for grace and beauty of form. In fact his handiworks in marble occupy a similar place to Schiller's creations in German poet¬ ry, namely unequalled in simplicity and purity of expression. His flgure of Ariadne herewith protrayed was cut out of one piece of marble Including the base. The perfec¬ tion of pose in this female flgure is novel and unique and is hardly equalled in ancient or modern sculpture. The statue was ac¬ quired by a banker of Frankfort who erect¬ ed a substantial little building known as the Ariadneum wherein it is now kept. The people of Frankfort regard it as the sight of their city. "You have not been to Frank¬ fort until you have seen Ariadne." Ariadne is a mythological character and in keeping therewith has the artist represent¬ ed her on the back of an animal not repre¬ senting any we have in real life. She Is spoken of variously in thellliadandOdessey as the goddess of spring, the wife of Dionysos (the god of wine) the queen of the vintage, the heroine who led Theseus to slay the Minotaur, a dancing girl, etc., and probably out of such varied experiences and accomplishments was produced such a perfect woman. Dannecker's busts of Schiller and Lavater are regarded as the taest in existence of these celetarltles. His statue of Christ over which he spent elglit years and which was considered tay himself his crowning effort, is not however so re¬ garded by the public.
