About the Item
Very large oil on canvas signed by Ernest PRUNET, 1840-1901, based on Alexandre Cabanel's original work La naissance de Vénus and exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay, on the theme of Venus anadyomene. The original canvas was exhibited at the Salon of 1863, was a great success and was bought by Emperor Napoleon III.
Several copies were subsequently made, including one commissioned by American collector John Wolfe and now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
