Tanagra is a polychromic marble sculpture created by French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) as a personification of the "spirit of Tanagra," his own mythic invention tied to the Tanagra figurines from the village of that name in ancient Greece. The sculpture was first shown at the Paris Salon of 1890. Gérôme subsequently created smaller, gilded bronze versions of Tanagra; several versions of the "Hoop Dancer" figurine held by Tanagra; two paintings of an imaginary ancient Tanagra workshop; and two self-portraits of himself sculpting Tanagra from a living model in his Paris atelier. These sculptures and paintings comprise a complex, self-referential artistic program in which one of the most celebrated artists of his generation explored reception of Classical antiquity, creative inspirat

Ces sculptures et peintures constituent un programme artistique autoréférentiel complexe, dans lequel un des artistes les plus célèbres de sa génération explore la réception de l'antiquité classique et les thèmes de l'inspiration créative, des doppelgängers et de la beauté féminine. Tanagra est exposée au musée d'Orsay. Une grande partie de sa polychromie s'est estompée, et la danseuse au cerceau est endommagée (une partie du cerceau et du bras droit sont manquantes). (fr)
