19th Century Sculpture Modelled after Venus de Milo in Veined & Carrara Marble

About the Item

We present you this unique figurative sculpture, crafted from Carrara white marble for the upper section and veined marble for the draped lower part, which achieves a powerful aesthetic impact with its clever use of two marble types. Hailing from the late 19th century, it is modelled after a famous statue created during the Hellenistic period titled 'Venus de Milo' by Alexandros of Antioch, who is thought to be the author of the sculptor. It is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, having been prominently displayed at the Louvre Museum since shortly after the statue was rediscovered on the island of Milos, Greece, in 1820. With its substantial dimensions standing at 61 cm, this piece showcases an impeccable state of preservation.
