Edouard Henri Delesalle Bronze Venus De Milo Grand Tour Bronze Sculpture

About the Item

Edouard Henri Delesalle (French, 1823-1851), circa 1840. A good quality Grand Tour model of Venus de Milo cast in bronze. "Venus de Milo or Aphrodite of Melos is an ancient Greek sculpture that was created during the Hellenistic period. 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. The Venus de Milo is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, whose Roman counterpart was Venus. The original made of Parian marble, the statue is larger than life size, standing over 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high. The statue is missing both arms, with part of one arm, as well as the original plinth, being lost after the statue's rediscovery."
