Atlas with Celestial Sphere Statue

Bring a testament of strength and endurance into your home with the Atlas with Celestial Sphere Statue. This depiction of Atlas not only keeps the celestial sphere aloft, it also brings to life a hint of cosmic beauty and mythic charm.

A Statement of Eternal Fortitude

Inspired by the classic tales of Greek mythology, this Atlas statue is sculpted from polystone. Every detail, from the celestial sphere to the enduring Titan himself, is handpainted to exude an ancient bronze finish worthy of its legacy. Polystone is a resin composite that utilizes powdered stone to create a sculpture that is lightweight like resin, but possessed of a metallic bronze luster.

The design depicts Atlas after the Titanomachy. In Greek mythology, the gods of Olympus waged war against their former Titan family and defeated them for control over the cosmos. Atlas was one of those Titans, captured and punished by Zeus to hold the sky and the celestial spheres on his shoulders for eternity. Atlas himself is sculpted with a thick, curly beard and equally curly hair. He wears a short, asymmetrical chiton, a form of loose, comfy clothing in the Classical era. Even though Atlas is condemned to bear this burden, he does so with stoic fervor.

Above Atlas’s shoulders is the celestial sphere itself. This sphere has intersecting lines connecting the sun and moon. Throughout the sphere are the constellations in their iconographic form. Every one of them is represented. Leo is depicted as a lion. Scorpio is a scorpion with its stinger upraised in a defensive posture. Sagittarius draws his bow and arrow, and so on. At the bottom, the rocky base grounds this mythical figure in a natural, earthy setting. This base allows you to place this Greek mythology statue on most flat surfaces.
