Important "venus De Milo" In Patinated Bronze – Inscription: “musée Du Louvre” – Height: 100 Cm

A large bronze sculpture with a copper-brown patina, depicting the famous Venus de Milo, based on the ancient Greek original housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

This elegant interpretation captures the characteristic pose of the goddess Aphrodite: her bare torso, her head turned slightly, and her lower body draped in a flowing garment with deeply modeled folds.

The sculpture displays fine craftsmanship, with meticulous attention to detail in the hair, facial features, and anatomy. The brown patina, with its warm tones, is enhanced by golden highlights that emphasize the movement of the hair and the relief of the drapery.

The base bears the inscription “Musée du Louvre”, reminiscent of art editions and reproductions of ancient sculptures based on works from national collections. This inscription indicates that the piece was cast to disseminate models derived from the museum’s collection.

Resting on a rectangular base integrated into the composition, this work stands out for its imposing proportions and remarkable decorative presence.
