The Death of Lais

The Death of Lais statue stands in the Tuileries Garden, carefully carved from white marble by the sculptor Mathieu-Meusnier.

Created around 1850, this sculpture reflects the artistic movement of the French Second Empire and its interest in mythological themes.

The statue draws from classical tradition and demonstrates nineteenth-century artistic concerns regarding mortality through its subject matter.

The sculpture is located in the central section of the Tuileries Garden, between the Louvre Museum and Place de la Concorde.

The dimensions of 1.2 meters in height and 1.64 meters in width create a balanced presence in the garden's outdoor space.
