Ariadne on the Panther Statue | Goddess of Destiny & Love |
🔹This 3D copy of sculpture depicts the Cretan princess Ariadne seated on the big cat in a relaxed pose. Dannecker began work on this sculpture in 1803. By 1805 the “Ariadne” – at that time still standing in his studio – was already regarded one of his masterpieces. The sculpture expresses the idea of "wildness tamed by beauty", according to the motto Dannecker is said to have devised together with his brother-in-law Heinrich Rapp. In 1810 the statue was sold to the Frankfurt banker Simon Moritz von Bethmann (1768–1826), and in 1816 it was put on display in the so-called Odeon, the first museum in Frankfurt to be open to the public. From 1856 onwards it stood in the specially built “Ariadneum”. Every day, according to Bethmann, there was a “positive pilgrimage” to see the sculptor’s most famous work.

🌟Material & Process🌟
This product is crafted using high-quality PLA with a 3D printer, then meticulously hand-painted and varnished to perfection. The item you will receive is exactly as shown in the photo. For custom sizes and colors, please contact us.
🌟Post-3D Printing Process🌟
To ensure a smooth and flawless finish, each piece undergoes several steps after 3D printing. Initially, we carefully sand the object to eliminate any rough surfaces. Next, we apply a primer to prepare it for painting. The piece is then hand-painted with great attention to detail, and finally, we varnish it to ensure the paint remains vibrant and long-lasting.
📌Our products are lightweight due to the 3D printing process. The weight may be surprising when held, as it cannot be accurately judged by appearance alone. Generally, they weigh under 500 grams. Despite their lightness, our 3D printed items are more durable and resistant to impact. If you prefer a heavier product, we can add weight upon request, though this will incur an additional shipping fee. Please contact us for more details.
