----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I have spent the last hour with a student looking for an image of a
sculpture of Atlas holding up the world.  I found the Riccio inkwell
in the Frick Collection, but that's not it.  I checked the Oxford
Guide to Classical Mythology in the Arts and didn't come up with
anything.  We found the Hellenistic Atlas, which is pretty close but
not what the student is looking for.

The image the student and I both seem to have in our heads is sort
of a Rodin-like figure (but I didn't find a Rodin) with both arms
upraised holding the globe.  Both legs are bent, possibly one knee
on the ground.  Was an Atlas image ever used for a movie studio's
opening credits?  That's what's in my little brain.

This is going to bug me until I find it.  Any suggestions are most
welcome!  Thanks.
