The Negress
''The Negress'' is a bronze sculpture by French artist Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. It is now in the permanent collection at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
==Description==
''The Negress'' portrays a woman who is the personification of the continent of Africa. Carpeaux wanted to use her to emphasize the horrors of slavery, creating the piece 3 years after the Civil War of the United States had ended and twenty years after it was banned in France. The woman is looking to the side, her figure twisting to the left. Her twisting body contributed to the fountain's composition. Her features express her strength and her human vulnerability, as she is also tied in bondage. Her skin is covered in a patina, enhancing the sculpture's use of light and shadow.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imamuseum.org/art/collections/artwork/negress-jean-baptiste-carpeaux )〕 The words, "Why be born a slave?" (in French, "Pourquoi! Naître esclave!") are inscribed in the base, emphasizing her attachment to her depiction as an enslaved African.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1997.491 )〕
