Italian White Statuary Marble Torso Nude Sculpture Of Woman Grand Tour Classical

after 1900

About the Item

an interesting and elegant white statuary aged marble torso sculpture of a goddess, standing on a white marble squared plinth in ground style carved probably in Rome in the first half or quarter of the 20th century. Two locks of hair fell on the shoulders, and some details show a carved with a delicate and academical work in respect of the classical tradition; also Contrapposto position, that made the first appearing in Ancient Greece in the early 5th century BCE, is used to express a psychological disposition. The Grand Tour was the principally 17th- to early 19th-century custom of a traditional trip through Europe, with Italy as a key destination, undertaken by upper-class young European men of sufficient means and rank (typically accompanied by a tutor or family member) when they had come of age (about 21 years old). The primary value of the Grand Tour lay in its exposure to the cultural legacy of classical antiquity and the Renaissance, and to the aristocratic and fashionably polite society of the European continent. It also provided the only opportunity to view specific works of art, and possibly the only chance to hear certain music.
