"Niobide blesse" (Wounded Niobide) is a renowned marble sculpture created by the French artist James Pradier in 1845. This exquisite piece is a testament to Pradier's mastery of the neoclassical style, which was characterized by its emphasis on idealized beauty and classical themes. The sculpture depicts a poignant moment from Greek mythology, capturing the tragic fate of one of Niobe's daughters.

Niobe, a figure from Greek mythology, boasted about her numerous children, claiming superiority over the goddess Leto, who had only two children, Apollo and Artemis. In retaliation for Niobe's hubris, Apollo and Artemis killed all of Niobe's children. "Niobide blesse" focuses on one of these ill-fated children, portraying her in a moment of vulnerability and suffering. The sculpture captures the essence of human fragility and the tragic consequences of pride.

Pradier's "Niobide blesse" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike quality of the marble. The artist's skillful rendering of the human form is evident in the delicate features of the Niobid, her flowing hair, and the intricate folds of her drapery. The expression of pain and resignation on her face, combined with the graceful yet lifeless posture of her body, evokes a deep emotional response from the viewer.

The sculpture was first exhibited at the Salon of 1845, where it received widespread acclaim. It is now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike. "Niobide blesse" remains one of James Pradier's most significant works, exemplifying his ability to blend classical themes with a profound sense of human emotion.
