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.
