Dante’s Eagle

by Editor · Published May 24, 2018 · Updated December 10, 2020

The magnificent eagle lifts Dante, engulfed in flames, out of Inferno. It all happened in Dante’s dream. But this bronze sculpture is real and could well become the anchor of a “Divine Comedy”-themed collection.

Dante’s Dream of the Golden Eagle, 1980, bronze, natural patina, 35″ tall by 18″ wide by 18″ deep.

Ask: can be commissioned to be cast again in bronze.

Always curious...

Harriet G. Moore was a renown artist who resided in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her media included bronze, terracotta, wood, marble, as well as drawings and prints. She passed away on August 2, 2018, just two months shy of the proud age of 98.

For several decades, her major oeuvre had been an interpretation of Dante’s Divine Comedy in paintings and sculptures as exhibited in NYC as well as at San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral, Fort Mason, Vorpal Gallery, and the Shrine of Saint Francis.

Most if not all of Harriet's art has now found a new home, that is, it has been sold or given away to her friends.
