English Reproduction of the Venus Italica

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 68 ⅜” H x 18” W x 23” D

English, early 20th century or late 19th century reproduction of the masterpiece Venus Italica, originally sculpted from marble circa 1802 by Antonio Canova to replace the more famous Venus sculpture seized by Napoleon. This example is a cast (reconstituted stone) work that graced a garden with her beauty. Note the dark patina from exposure to the elements that shrouds her bare shoulders while the gathered fabric she clings to her front is still mostly white–undrescoring her symbolism of love, fertility, and desire. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition and be sure to check our other listings for more antique garden elements.
