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. Our copy is signed lower left: D.C / E. PRUNET This copy seems to be mentioned in a reference in the Jean Nougaret Archives fonds for Cabanel under entry III/IV copie Prunet in connection with a photocopy in the Gazette Drouot of November 30, 2001 p.191. Jean Nougaret was chief heritage curator at the Languedoc-Roussillon regional inventory department, and a specialist in the Montpellier painter Alexandre Cabanel. Condition report: our painting has been repainted and restored. It is presented unframed.
