About the Item
A Neoclassical style Italian marble grand tour figure of Venus De Medici after the antique. This detailed statue is expertly carved showing all details of the figure, closely representing the original. This piece would certainly look impressive on display in a grand home.
Made from white statutory marble, this classical depiction has a stylised dolphin with a beak sits at the Goddess’ feet, while Venus De Midici poses in the nude.
Venus De Midici
The Venus was known to be in the Medici collection in the mid 16th century. The sculpture was thought to be a rare survivor from the classical period, and through the 17th century its popularity began to extend beyond the closed circle of the Italian elite.
Moved from Rome to Florence in 1677, the Venus was installed in the Uffizi Gallery where it became a prime attraction for visitors making the Grand Tour.
As popularity grew for the Classical style, Italian copies in bronze and marble started appearing in British collections and gardens, inspired by their owners travels.
