Interpretation
Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s colossal Diana, now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, stood on the tower of the original Madison Square Garden as a weather vane. This bronze cast is based on the half-size model, which was preserved in a cement version and given to Stanford White, the architect of Madison Square Garden. The present bronze, one of six made from that cast before it entered the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, dates from 1987.

Feedback
The Museum regularly researches its objects and their collecting histories, updating its records to reflect new information. We also strive to catalogue works of art using language that is consistent with how people, subjects, artists, and cultures describe themselves. As this effort is ongoing, the Museum’s records may be incomplete or contain terms that are no longer acceptable. We welcome your feedback, questions, and additional information that you feel may be useful to us. Email us at collectionsinfo@princeton.edu.
