Focus on this artwork and analyze the Second version (1893–present).
Diana was completely redesigned by Saint-Gaudens – with a more elegant pose, a different thrust to the body, a thinner figure, smaller breasts and a more graceful angle to the leg.  To better fit the proportions of Madison Square Garden's tower, the statue's height was scaled down to 14.5 feet (4.4 m). The second version was made of hollowed copper, and weighed 700 lb (318 kg) – more than 60% less than the first version – light enough to rotate with the wind. As Saint-Gaudens originally envisioned, the figure was balanced on its left toe atop a ball. The statue was hoisted to the top of the tower on November 18, 1893.During the day, the gilded figure caught the sun and could be seen from all over the city and as far away as New Jersey.  Electric lights, then a novelty, illuminated it at night; it was the first statue in history to be lit by electricity.Madison Square Garden was slated to be demolished in 1925 to make way for construction of the New York Life Building. Prior to the building's demolition, Diana was removed and put in storage. The intention was for the statue to remain in New York City, however a seven year search to find a place to display it proved futile.  In 1932, the New York Life Insurance Company presented Diana to the Philadelphia Museum of Art as a gift. It remains displayed on the balcony of the museum's Great Stair Hall.
