"Young
Archer" attributed to Michelangelo Buonarroti
(Caprese 1475-Rome 1564) |
His Excellency, Pierre Vimont,
Ambassador of France to the United
States and Thomas Campbell, director
of The Metropolitan Museum
hosted a cocktail party on Monday
November 2, 2009. The occasion celebrated
the loan by the French Government to
The Met of a statue by Michelangelo .
The marble sculpture "Young Archer,"
attributed to Michelangelo
Buonarroti Caprese 1475-Rome 1564),
is now on view in the Velez Blanco
Patio in the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. The fragmentary marble
figure of a nude youth, which is
missing arms and lower legs, was
retained previously in the Fifth
Avenue mansion that housed the
Cultural Services office of the
French Embassy for decades.
The sculpture is on special loan to
the Metropolitan Museum for ten
years from the French Republic,
Ministry of Foreign and European
Affairs.
