Antique Marble Sculpture of Aphrodite on Column
About the Item
A 19th century antique marble sculpture of Aphrodite also referred to as the ‘Crouching Venus’ on an octagonal pedestal. It is based on the antique Roman statue that forms part of the Royal Collection. This beautiful example once formed part of a private collection in Oxfordshire UK where it was a focal point within a traditional English country garden.
According to Greek mythology, Aphrodite (the Roman Venus) is the Goddess of Love and Beauty. She is depicted here in statuary white marble, surprised while bathing and crouches nude, ribbons of hair gathered loosely on her head and crossing her arms to conceal her nudity. She ascends on a tall marble plinth, making a striking display piece for a courtyard or interior.
The marble statue on which this depiction is based was acquired by Charles I – King of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1625 until 1649 – for the Royal Collection as part of a collection of Roman antiquities. It is today located in the British Museum. Other adaptions of the crouching Venus are found in the Vatican and the V&A.
