The Four Season Maidens Sculpture garden decoration was designed in 1939 by Haldeman & Leland to complement the Recreation Building, which was added to the property in 1940 by the Lilly family. The Season’s putti are believed to date to the Landon era and were incorporated into the new garden design.
Sculpture as an artistic medium has its Eastern roots in ancient Egypt and its Western groundings in ancient Greece, with both environments focusing mainly on sweeping odes to the gods. While classical sculpture was typically carved from great slabs of marble stone, or later forged in bronze, contemporary sculpture can be formed from any material- plastic, light, textiles, and even sound.
Our statue series evokes the fable of The Four Season Sculpture in a neoclassical style, including a detailed depiction of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. These classic lawn decorations are derived from the enchanting goddess called Horae in the Roman story, based on the originality of the English estate, from draped dresses to handsome faces, which are fascinating. Our classic sculptures are carved from high-quality marble and decorated with antique stone for all seasons.
