Description: | When Freud fled Vienna for London in 1938 it looked as though his collection of antiquities would fall into the hands of the Nazis. He picked this statue of the Greek Goddess Athene as one of two items to be smuggled out of his apartment by Princess Marie Bonaparte, and was overjoyed to be reunited with the statue during a short stopover in Paris. Although having to abandon their home had been a terrible ordeal for Freud and his family, he later wrote that they left for London "proud and rich under the protection of Athene". | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Freud Museum London | Rights holder: | Freud Museum London | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Art and Design | Temporal: | 1st or 2nd Century AD | Source: | Freud Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
