The Diana of Gabii is a statue of a woman draped probably representing the goddess Artemis, which is traditionally attached to the sculptor Praxiteles. The statue was discovered in 1792 by Gavin Hamilton on the property of Prince Borghese Gabii, near Rome. She immediately joined the prince's collection. In 1807, he has financial difficulties and was forced to sell it to Napoleon 1st and the statue is exhibited in the Louvre since 1820 under the inventory number 529 Ma. The statue is very popular in the nineteenth century, a cast is placed in the Athenaeum in London, and a marble replica joins the other copies from the antique which adorn the courtyard of the Louvre Square. Replicas in small, clay or porcelain, are also marketed for amateurs.
