About the Item

Italian life-size plaster sculpture , figure of the Callipygian Venus, after the antique Roman marble statue. Aphrodite Kallipygos, or Callipygian Venus literally means “Venus of the beautiful buttocks" and was often referred to as Venus leaving the bath throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. It depicts a partially draped woman, raising her light peplos to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, capturing the elegance and grace of the Roman goddess of love and beauty. It is also considered a copy itself of an older bronze Greek original. It dates from the late 1st century BC and was acquired by the Farnese family, forming part of the Farnese Collection among some of the most influential works from the world of classical sculpture. It is currently on display in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples. This plaster Sculpture is in very good original condition of 1920'. Provenience from an Italian collector residence.
