Spartacus, Captif du LouvreSublimation Dye Print on Aluminum
39” x 39” (Framed 40” x 40”)
Signed Edition of: 7
24” x 24” (Framed 25” x 25”)
Signed Edition of: 10

Originally sculpted in 1830 by Denis Foyatier for the Jardin des Tuileries, this larger-than-life Spartacus once stood defiant under open skies, breaking his chains in a gesture of unyielding resolve. Inspired by an ancient Greek sculpture attributed to Agesander of Rhodes, Foyatier’s figure carries forward the eternal spirit of resistance—muscles taut, gaze uplifted, a silent cry for freedom etched in stone.

Relocated in 1877 to the Louvre, he now stands within the hush of the museum’s galleries—his rebellion stilled, his marble form caught in a kind of beautiful suspension. Once a symbol of liberation in motion, he is now encircled by stillness. And though countless visitors pass by—perhaps gazing, perhaps admiring—the echo of captivity remains, quiet but unresolved.
