About the Item
This elegant Italian hand carved marble figure was made on early 20th century, and is a copy of the famous Venus De Milo marble sculpture (Aphoride of Milos in Greek), goddess of love and beauty. The original statue is one of the most famous pieces of the Louvre Museum in Paris. It was discovered on April 8, 1820 in the ancient city ruins of Milos, on the island of Milos in Greece.
It is believed that the statue was crafted between 130 B.C. and 100 B.C. by Alexander of Antioch, an artist who lived during the Hellenistic period. In the past, it was mistakenly attributed to the famous sculptor Praxiteles of Athens.

Pasquale Romanelli was born in Florence on May 28 1812. When he was 15 years old he entered the studio runned by Master Sculptor Luigi Pampaloni and later moved to Lorenzo Bartolini’s studio in Borgo San Frediano. Lorenzo Bartolini was a teacher at Accademia in 1837 and suggested the young pupil to attend proper sculpture training at the Accademia of Belle Arti. Soon he learned to sculpt in marble at such a high level that Bartolini himself did not need to finish his pieces if they have been carved by Pasquale.
In 1840 he got his studio at the San Barnaba Monastry (nearby San Lorenzo church) and in this years he already took part in the political life, sure enough his subjects were connected to his political IDEA of freedom and independence of Italy.

Till the end of his life he worked on several commissions, either public monuments as the sculpture Francesco Ferrucci (Portico degli Uffizi) and private ones, mostly sold abroad. He was a renown portraitist and according to the tradition, luxury carriage...
