Sculpture Depicting “venus At Her Bath”
An important sculpture in white statuary marble with a base inlaid with yellow marble and Belgian Black marble
An elegant and refined sculpture in white statuary marble depicting Venus at Her Bath, a highly popular motif in the Neoclassical tradition, inspired by models from Greco-Roman antiquity. The goddess is captured in a moment of intimate grace as she gently lifts the drapery, in a sinuous and harmonious pose that highlights the purity of the forms and the sculptural quality of the work.
The work stands out for its excellent craftsmanship in statuary marble, characterized by a delicate anatomical rendering and a refined surface treatment that lends softness and luminosity to the figure. The composition is further enhanced by the exquisite octagonal architectural base, also carved from white statuary marble, embellished with elegant inlaid panels of yellow marble and trim in Belgian Black, creating a striking chromatic contrast with great decorative effect.
Attributed to the sculptural tradition of central Italy between the late 18th century and the early 19th century, the work fully reflects the Neoclassical taste of the era, when the revival of the ideal of ancient beauty resulted in sculptures commissioned for the most prestigious aristocratic residences.
With remarkable visual impact and exceptional craftsmanship, this important sculpture represents a rare example of Italian decorative and sculptural art from the 18th and 19th centuries, ideal for prestigious collections and high-end interior design settings.
