Caryatids on the Pavillon de l'Horloge
by SARAZIN, Jacques, Stone
Sarazin returned to sixteenth-century models for his caryatids below the dome of the Pavillon de l’Horloge at the Louvre. These tall figures, skillfully grouped in pairs, were conceived as pilasters. Both the contrapposto arrangement of the statues and the treatment of the robes indicate direct influence of classical models.
