Original Carved White Venus Marble Statue by French Artist Marius Sain

About the Item

Here is chance to own a real treasure. One of kind and brilliantly carved white marble. This piece depicts a beautiful Venus inspired woman in a Greek Art Deco pose, naked and free (well not really free). She is yours to fall in love with. Very impressive size 23" tall. A wonderful material and something that we do have a chance to acquire due to its rarity, uniqueness (one of kind) and historical significance. The sculptor Marius Sain has many books written on his work and is listed in every important European and American art reference book (Benezit.) About Marius Sain Marius Sain is a famous French sculptor and designer, best known for his monumental work : A statue of Louis Girard completed in 1925 as part of a public fountain. Pernes-les-Fontaines, Vaucluse in France. Born in 1877 in Montfavet, he attended the School of Fine Arts in both Avignon and Marseilles. He studied and worked in Paris at the turn of the century and exhibited at the French Artisits Salon in 1903. Baron de Rothschild purchased one of Marius Sains sculptures and bequeathed it to the Museum of Grenoble. He received the "Second Class Medal" at the Salon des French Artists and after World War I he worked on many monuments to the war. He was awarded the medal of the Legion of Honor. After 1928, he began to work with his son in a new direction, working with furniture and few sculptures were produced in the years that followed. Marius Sain died in 1961. His work in bronze and in marble is quite spectacular and his public sculpture has the distinction of being considered a National Historic Landmark.
