Ernest Dame (1845-1920)

Ernest Damé Fugit Amor is a bronze sculpture that embodies the allegory of the transience of love. The upward movement of the winged Amor and the intertwined postures of the woman trying to hold him back condense the tension of the missed moment into a single scene. The raised bow and the twisting composition emphasize the contrast between escape and desire. The emotional impact of the work arises from the continuity of movement and the fragility of physical closeness.
