The reflection of these two colors must ruin me. Well, it can't be helped, now. Come with me back to Paris, Laurette, to-night." " Oh, no. Think of your husband and your honeymoon that I should interrupt." CANOVA'S STATUE OP PAULINE. 195 " Honeymoon ! Honeymoon with that idiot ! You are jest- ing, I suppose." " No, I was serious. But, if I shall not break in upon a t^te- a-tete, I'll accept your invitation, and return with you to Paris." ^ The prince and princess soon set off for Rome, where Pa...ul- ine's son by Greneral Leclerc, and the only child she ever had, sickened and died. It was at this time that Canova executed the statue of the princess — perhaps his chef-d'oeuvre. It is a semi- nude figure, modelled from life, and represented as half reclining upon a couch ; the manner and expression strongly recall the Yenus of Praxiteles. The statue is known as the Tenus Victo- rious. Pauline, whose audacity in reply was often as remarkable as the irregularity of her conduct, furnished Rome and, indeed, Europe, with a theme for scandal, by a remark made in reference to this statue, many years later, to Madame Junot.
