Garden Statue Depicting The Callipygian Venus

About the Item

A late 19th century French terracotta figure of the Callipygian Venus, after the antique. Also known as the Venus Callipyge or Aphrodite Kallipygos, the 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. This 19th century terracotta statue attributed to J. Garouste is a beautiful depiction of the larger than life-size marble antique, capturing the elegance and grace of the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Venus Callipyge The larger than life-size Callipygian Venus is one of the most famous marble statues of ancient Roman history; though it is 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. Additional Information Blue display plinth not included.

Made in the mid 20th century, each term statue is crafted from a blend of cement and fibreglass with some wear throughout that gives them a beautiful time-worn appeal. Part statue, part jardiniere, these Atlas statues...
