The statue of Theseus Combating the Minotaur was initially presented at
the 1827 Paris Salon by Étienne Jules Ramey. In the famous Greek myth,
Athenian Theseus slays the Cretan minotaur to save Athenian youths from
being sacrificed to it. While the story features many themes, including
love, rivalry, and tragedy, this mythical moment of victory has inspired
artists and sculptors for centuries.

In 1833, Jean Baptiste Joseph Debay carved this work of Pericles giving crowns to artists.
Pericles promoted the arts and literature through his patronage and leadership, and it is
principally through his efforts that Athens became known as the educational and cultural
centre of the ancient Greek world. He also initiated a project that helped build most of the
surviving structures on the Acropolis, including the Parthenon—and in so doing, he both
beautified and protected the city of Athens.
