MARBLE SCULPTURE “THE BATHING VENUS” EUROPE, 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

MARBLE SCULPTURE “THE BATHING VENUS” EUROPE, 19TH - EARLY 20TH CENTURY

A monumental marble sculpture depicting the goddess Venus in a moment of intimate contemplation at a sacred spring. The nude figure is shown in the canonical crouching pose: one arm resting upon the bent knee, the other gracefully extended to the side, creating a refined cross-rhythm of movement. The turn of the head and the gentle inclination of the torso form a subtle interplay of volumes, emphasizing the introspective and poetic character of the image.The iconography derives from the celebrated Antique prototype of the “Bathing Venus,” known through Roman marble copies of the 2nd century BC. The 19th-century sculptor interprets the ancient canon in a refined Academic manner, paying particular attention to idealized anatomy, smooth modeling, and the delicate treatment of the marble surface. The white marble, enriched by a soft natural patina, enhances the sense of purity and timeless harmony.The figure stands upon a strict octagonal base decorated with a pearl frieze, underscoring the Neoclassical character of the work. The near life-size scale grants the sculpture a museum presence and architectural dignity.Hallmarks: None observed.Dimensions: Height 89 cm; Width 50 cm; Depth 49 cm.Weight: 120 kg.Condition: Good. Minor surface wear consistent with age and a light natural patina. No visible restorations.Provenance: Private European collection.
