Description
Gilded bronze CLOCK, depicting the young Greek ephebe Hippolytus carrying a quiver and bow, accompanied by his greyhound; his helmet rests on a boundary stone atop a lion’s skin. A fresco in the lower section depicts the death of Hippolytus. Empire period, 53 x 39 x 12.5 cm. The pendulum weight needs reattaching; the movement needs servicing. [This refers to Jean Racine’s play *Phèdre*. Our clock draws on the iconography of Pierre Narcisse Guérin’s painting *Phèdre and Hippolytus* (c. 1802), held at the Louvre Museum. Hippolytus dies, trampled by his own horses, which have been thrown into a panic by a sea monster emerging from the waves.]
