Artemis (Diana Roman) is the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. Artemis/Diana is the Goddess of the Hunt and all things wild. She is usually depicted as the maiden goddess, bearing a bow and arrows, and accompanied by her dogs or stags. She is also associated with the moon, as her brother, Apollo, is with the sun. She is one of the oldest and most widely venerated of the gods. Our Diana bust is depicted with an Old World (OW) finish. If you don't choose a finish, your piece will arrive in whitewear.

About Roman Architecture
From early times the Romans had felt the artistic influence of Greece. In 146 BC, when Greece was conquered by Rome, Greek art became inseparably interwoven with that of Rome. "Greece, conquered, led her conqueror captive" is the poet's way of expressing the triumph of Greek over Roman culture. To a large extent the art of the Romans was a development of that of their predecessors in Italy, the Etruscans, who, to be sure, had learned much from the Greeks. Nor were the Romans themselves entirely without originality. Though their artistic forms were, forthe most part, borrowed, they expressed in them, especially in their architecture, their own
practical dominating spirit.

Arkahdia Arts Studio,
a European immigrant now living in New York started a studio dedicated to casting these pieces of Art. By focusing the business on two goals;(1) to save pieces which have been produced in another medium in bygone times, and (2) to bring new artist's work to the public, the product lines have prospered, delighted and excited.
