About the Item

This captivating early 19th-century Continental Grand Tour bronze sculpture of Venus de' Medici is a stunning representation of classical beauty and neoclassical artistry. Cast with remarkable detail, the figure portrays the renowned statue of Venus, revered for its grace, sensuality, and timeless elegance. The finely executed bronze finish, with its warm, aged patina, further enhances the sculpture's antique charm, making it a remarkable piece that captures both historical significance and artistic mastery. The Grand Tour, a traditional journey undertaken by young Europeans in the 18th and 19th centuries to study classical art and culture, was an era that saw an increasing appreciation for classical sculptures, and this piece is a quintessential example of the era's influence on European decorative arts. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or as part of a larger collection, this Venus de' Medici sculpture evokes the grandeur of ancient Rome and the Renaissance period, embodying the pursuit of beauty that defined the neoclassical movement. The Venus de Medici is an ancient Greek statue that represents the goddess Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology). It is a marble sculpture, dating back to the 2nd century BCE, and is thought to be a Roman copy of a Hellenistic original. The statue is notable for its exquisite detail and grace, capturing the idealized beauty and form associated with classical art. The Venus de Medici is part of the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. It was discovered in the 16th century and has since become one of the most celebrated works of art from antiquity, admired for its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. From an important private English collection. Free international shipping on this item.
