About the Item

An antique Italian carved white statuary marble sculpture of Venus de Milo by Franco Palla. Dating to circa 1870, this neoclassical sculpture is a striking copy of the original by Alexandros of Antioch. She is the perfect scale for interior display on a pedestal or column. The Greek Goddess is modelled as she is in the original, standing half nude, covered in swathes of drapery from the waist down and her head detailed with ribbons of hair, elegantly swept into a bun. This 19th century piece is signed to the base 'Franco Palla SC'. Venus De Milo Sculpture Discovered in 1820, the original Venus De Milo is thought to date as far back as 100 BC. It is attributed to Greek Hellenistic sculptor, Alexandros of Antioch. On its discovery in Milos, Greece, in the early 19th century, it was presented to Louis XVIII, King of France (1814-1824) who subsequently presented it to the Louvre Museum in 1821. To this day, the Venus de Milo is one of the Louvre’s most famous artworks.
