Venus-Aphrodite plaque
Venus is the Roman goddess of love,
equivalent to Greek Aphrodite and
Etruscan Turan. Her cult began in
Ardea and Lavinium, Latium. Venus
became a popular subject of painting
and sculpture during the
Renaissance period in Europe. As a
"classical" figure for whom nudity was
her natural state, it was socially
acceptable to depict her unclothed. As
the goddess of love, a degree of
erotic beauty in her presentation was
justified, which had an obvious
appeal to many artists and their
patrons.
Item No. 057 Weight 9 Lb.
Dimensions W: 9.75" H: 17" D: 1"
$69.00
