198 THE LIFE OF LORD LEIGHTON work of Greek sculpture. The most serious work exhibited in 1877 was the bronze version of Leighton's "Athlete Strangling a Python, "^ the small sketch of which was made in 1874. This statue showed to the world his power as a sculptor. Every work he modelled evinced in an equal degree his consummate ability as such, though the more flexible treatment — In the modelled sketches for the " Python, " the sleeping group In " Cymon and Iphlgenia, "" and the "Perseus and ...Andromeda" — may carry with it a greater charm than is found In the completed statues. The follow- ing letters from the French sculptor Dalou, the painter George Boughton, and Sir Edgar Boehm are testimonies to the effect which the " Python " In bronze, and the sketch, produced on artists at the time they were executed : — 217A Glebe Place, Chelsea, S. W. , 2 Mai 1877. MON CHER Leighton, — Si mes humbles felicitations peuvent vous toucher j'en serais tres heureux. J'esperais vous voir lundi dernier a I'Academy et vous com- plimenter com me vous le meritez pour voire belle statue.
