dc.descriptionDetail; putti on left side under branch; This is the original plaster model, done in high relief and exhibited in the Salon of 1866. There are multiple copies, both in plaster, terra cotta, marble and bronze in other museums. Carpeaux was entrusted by the architect Hector-Martin Lefuel with producing two stone groups (in situ) for the south side of the Pavillon de Flore, which Lufuel had just rebuilt, at the Louvre: Imperial France Bringing Enlightenment to the World and Protecting Science and Agriculture, which was close to Michelangelo, and Flora, evoking the ballet danced by Louis XIV at the Louvre in 1669 and after which the pavilion was named. The putti in this relief were called "Rubenesque" by art historians. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 7/17/2015)en_US
