EDITORS COMMENTS
Dawn, c. 1883 (bronze) captures the ethereal beauty of a figure emerging from the darkness into the first light of day. This magnificent sculpture, created by Jules Cheret in 1883, stands tall at a height of 221.4 cm in the Cleveland Museum of Art. The neoclassical masterpiece portrays a woman draped in flowing fabric, symbolizing morning and new beginnings. With delicate grace and poise, she tumbles forward with two cherubic infants playfully clinging to her side. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he expertly sculpts each child's chubby cheeks and tiny fingers. Standing on a plinth with contrapposto stance, this statue exudes elegance and youthfulness. The personification of dawn is beautifully captured through the serene expression on the woman's face as she embraces motherhood. Cheret's work showcases his mastery in capturing movement and emotion within bronze sculptures. The composition evokes a sense of joy and innocence as it immortalizes this tender moment between mother and children. Displayed proudly in The Thomas L. Fawick Memorial Collection at the Cleveland Museum of Art, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and artistic brilliance.
