'''Daphnis''' ({{IPA2|ˈdæfnəs}}, Greek ''Δαφνίς)'' is an [[inner satellite]] of [[Saturn]]. It is also known as '''{{nowrap|Saturn XXXV}}'''; its provisional designation was '''{{nowrap|S/2005 S 1}}'''<ref name="IAUC8524">[http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iauc/08500/08524.html IAUC 8524: ''S/2005 S 1''] [[2005]] [[May 6]] (discovery)</ref><ref>Martinez, C.; and Dyches, P.; [http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/media/cassini-051005.html Cassini-Huygens: ''Cassini Finds New Saturn Moon That Makes Waves''] [[May 10]] [[2005]]</ref>. Daphnis is about 6 to 8 kilometres in diameter, and orbits the planet in the [[Keeler Gap]] within the [[A ring]]. It was named in 2006 after [[Daphnis]], a shepherd, pipes player, and pastoral poet in [[Greek mythology|Greek]] [[mythology]]<ref>[http://www.greatbritainonline.co.uk/IAUC-8730.pdf IAUC 8730: ''Saturn XXXV (Daphnis)''] (naming the moon)</ref>. He was the son of [[Hermes]], brother of [[Pan (mythology)|Pan]], and descendant of the [[Titan (mythology)|Titans]].


'''Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux''' ([[May 11]], [[1827]], [[Valenciennes]] –[[October 12]], [[1875]], [[Courbevoie]]) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under [[François Rude]]. Carpeaux won the [[Prix de Rome]] in [[1854]], and moving to [[Rome]] to find inspiration, he there studied the works of [[Michelangelo Buonarroti|Michelangelo]], [[Donatello]] and [[Andrea del Verrocchio|Verrocchio]]. Staying in Rome from [[1854]] to [[1861]], he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of [[baroque art]]. In [[1861]] he made a bust of [[Mathilde Bonaparte|Princess Mathilde]], and this later brought him several commissions from [[Napoleon III]]. He worked at the pavilion of [[Flora (goddess)|Flora]], and the [[Opéra Garnier]]. His group La Danse (the Dance, [[1869]]), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency.
It was discovered by [[Carolyn C. Porco]] and the [[Cassini Imaging Science Team]] on [[May 6]], [[2005]]<ref name="IAUC8524"/>, in six images taken by the ''[[Cassini-Huygens|Cassini]]'' [[unmanned space mission|probe]] over 16 min on [[May 1]] from a time-lapse sequence of 0.180 second narrow-angle-camera exposures of the outer edge of the A ring. It was subsequently found in 32 low-phase images taken of the [[F ring]] on [[April 13]] (spanning 18 min) and again in two high-resolution (3.54 km/[[pixel]]) low-phase images taken on [[May 2]], when its 7 km disk was resolved. It had previously been inferred from gravitational ripples observed on the outer edge of the [[Keeler gap]]. This moon seems to make waves inside the ring.


He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of [[Asia]], [[Europe]], [[North America|America]] and [[Africa]], and it was [[Emmanuel Frémiet]] who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin.
The [[inclination]] and [[eccentricity (orbit)|eccentricity]] of Daphnis' orbit are very close to zero, and are not distinguishable from it with present data. Daphnis has an estimated [[albedo]] of 50%.

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's marble sculpture 'Ugolino and his Sons', Metropolitan Museum of Art
La Danse (The Dance), Opera Garnier in Paris

Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux (May 11, 1827, ValenciennesOctober 12, 1875, Courbevoie) was a French sculptor and painter. His early studies were under François Rude. Carpeaux won the Prix de Rome in 1854, and moving to Rome to find inspiration, he there studied the works of Michelangelo, Donatello and Verrocchio. Staying in Rome from 1854 to 1861, he obtained a taste for movement and spontaneity, which he joined with the great principles of baroque art. In 1861 he made a bust of Princess Mathilde, and this later brought him several commissions from Napoleon III. He worked at the pavilion of Flora, and the Opéra Garnier. His group La Danse (the Dance, 1869), situated on the right side of the façade, was criticised as an offence to common decency.

He never managed to finish his last work, the famous Fountain of the Four Parts of the Earth, on the Place Camille Jullian. He did finish the terrestrial globe, supported by the four figures of Asia, Europe, America and Africa, and it was Emmanuel Frémiet who completed the work by adding the eight leaping horses, the tortoises and the dolphins of the basin.

Sculptures by Carpeaux

Neapolitan Fisherboy

Carpeaux submitted a plaster version of Pêcheur napolitain à la coquille, the Neapolitan Fisherboy, to the French Academy while a student in Rome. He carved the marble version several years later, showing it in the Salon exhibition of 1863. It was purchased for Napoleon III's empress, Eugènie. The statue of the young smiling boy was very popular, and Carpeaux created a number of reproductions and variations in marble and bronze. There is a copy, for instance, in the Samuel H. Kress Collection in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

Some years later, he carved the Girl with a Shell, a very similar study.

Carpeaux sought real life subjects in the streets and broke with the classical tradition. The Neapolitan Fisherboy's body is carved in intimate detail and shows an intricately balanced pose. Carpeaux claimed that he based the Neapolitan Fisherboy on a boy he had seen during a trip to Naples.
