Atalante, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, France
The Atalante statue stands near the rectangular north basin of the Tuileries Garden, depicting a female figure in a running position.
Pierre Lepautre created this sculpture between 1703 and 1705 under the commission of King Louis XIV for the gardens of Château de Marly.
The statue represents Atalante, a Greek mythological huntress who challenged potential suitors to defeat her in a footrace to win her hand.
The stone sculpture resides in the first arrondissement of Paris, accessible through multiple entrances of the Tuileries Garden throughout the year.
The statue forms a paired narrative with another sculpture of Hippomenes, both relocated from Marly to the Tuileries Gardens in 1798.
