About the Item

Bronze Figure of Crouching Venus, or The Naked Aphrodite, 19th Century Italian School Bronze raised on a marble base 21 in. h. x 10 in. w. x 7 in. d., overall 18 in. h. x 8.5 in. w., x 6 in. d., bronze 50 lb. Catching the eye of an onlooker, the youthful goddess crouches at her bath. This bronze version is based on the Greek Hellenistic original sculpture from 200 BC. The Royal Collection Trust owns a 2nd-century AD Roman version, which resides at the British Museum. Her iconic pose and loosely gathered hair have served as inspiration to artists in the Renaissance, such as Giambologna and Marcantonio Raimondi.

Italian Bronze Sculpture of Nude Woman, Mid 20th Century
Located in Beachwood, OH
Mario Spampinato (Italian 1912–2000) Nude Bronze Signed on base 17.5 in. h. x 5.75 in. w. x 6 in. d. The artist was born, raised and trained in Italy. During one of his exhibits (at San Marcos in Rome) the Director of a New York Gallery asked him to come to New York to work for him.

In New York, he worked with his brother Clemente Spampinato who is a well known sculptor as well. After moving to Chicago in 1954, he discovered that there was no foundry in the Midwest that could cast his bronzes. So, he opened his own foundry called the Spampinato Art Foundry, casting in the lost wax process. He also started his own private school (Spampinato Art Workshop, Ltd) and did some teaching at the University of Chicago and conducted seminars at Lawrence University in Kansas. Many of his own works are pictured and cataloged in Volumes 2 & 3 of Bronzes: Sculptors and Founders, 1800-1930 by Harold Berman. Between 1959 and 1967, Spampinato recast a number of Charles M Russell...
