Marble Sculpture "venus Victrix"
Artist: D'après Antonio Canova
Venus Victrix (Veus Victorious) is a sculpture—a portrait of Pauline Bonaparte, half-nude, in the Neoclassical style—by the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova.
This artwork was created in Rome between 1805 and 1808 on the orders of Pauline Bonaparte's husband , Camillo Borghese, in honor of the marriage of the French emperor's sister to a member of the princely family.
After the sculpture was completed, it was transported to Turin, where Camillo's mansion was located, then to Genoa, and it was only in 1838 that the master's work arrived at the Borghese Gallery.
Our sculpture, in white Carrara marble, is a reduced-scale model dating from the second half of the 19th century, around 1880. The sculpture rests on a rectangular gilded wooden base.
This expressive sculpture is in very good condition and of a Very good quality !
