Here we meet Vivien, a mythical enchantress from the legend of King Arthur. She stole the magical shell from the wizard Merlin and is shown holding it triumphantly in this sculpture. With half-closed eyes, seductively parted lips, and a mane of wavy red hair, the beautiful nymph is a true femme fatale. In fin-de-siècle Vienna, this type of \u201cdangerous temptress,\u201d who manipulated men with her erotic charms and often caused their downfall, was a popular subject in both art and literature."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Plaster, painted, on a gilded wooden base"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Half-figure of a Nymph (\u201cVivien\u201d)"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Sculpture"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"/internal/media/dispatcher/4824/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1896"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"10193274"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-3225/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"(Vitrine): H: 99 cm"}}]}
