This Hebe was sculpted in white marble by Bertel Thorvaldsen, a Danish sculptor of international fame, who spent most of his life (1789 - 1838) in Italy. The original statue is conserved in Thorvaldsen Museum of Copenhagen. In his time, he was seen as the successor of master sculptor Antonio Canova. His strict adherence to classical norms has tended to estrange modern audiences. 
Hebe in ancient Greek religion, is the goddess of youth. She is the daughter of Zeus and Hera.
