Venus Torso statue
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. 226
Weight 15 Lb.
Dimensions W: 9" H: 16.5" D: 7"
Made of cast stone, hand
finished with antique finished.
$289.00
