Description

An exquisite example of classical antique beauty represents this rare variant of the so-called "kneeling Venus". Since ancient times, this elegant representation of the goddess, which originally comes from the Hellenistic period, was extremely popular and different versions were taken during excavations at the light.

During excavations in the vicinity of Salone in the second half of the 18th century, it was discovered the present version, which was acquired by the sculpture collection of the Vatican. A century later, the Papal collection formed the basis for the newly created Museum "Pio Clémentino". As part of the Vatican museums it houses up to today the ancient works of art.

Very nice, heavy cast bronze with deep green, smooth patina.

FAQs

The kneeling venus subject originates from classical antiquity, depicting the goddess in a modest or bathing pose, which was frequently revived by european sculptors during the nineteenth century.

Victorian figural sculptures were typically produced using the lost-wax casting method or sand casting, utilising copper alloys commonly referred to as bronze, often finished with chemical patinas.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit natural oxidisation, fine chisel work on the metal surface, heavy weight, and construction characteristics consistent with historical foundry practices rather than modern cold-cast resin.

A bronze sculpture can be placed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or side table to add classical contrast and sculptural weight to modern minimalist or transitional room schemes.

Maintain antique bronze by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding chemical polishes that can strip the historical patina, and keeping the piece away from excessive moisture.
