Important sculpture in statuary white marble with a base inlaid in yellow marble and Belgian Black.
Elegant and refined sculpture in statuary white marble depicting Venus at her Bath, an iconography of great fortune in the Neoclassical tradition, inspired by the models of Greco-Roman antiquity. The goddess is captured in a moment of intimate grace as she delicately lifts the drapery, in a sinuous and harmonious pose that enhances the purity of the forms and the masterful execution.
The work is distinguished by the excellent craftsmanship of the statuary marble, characterized by delicate anatomical rendering and refined surface treatment, capable of imparting softness and luminosity to the figure. The composition is further enhanced by the valuable octagonal architectural base, also in statuary white marble, adorned with elegant inlaid panels in yellow marble and Belgian Black profiles, creating a striking chromatic contrast of great decorative effect.
Attributable to the sculptural milieu of central Italy between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the work fully reflects the neoclassical taste of the era, when the rediscovery of the ancient ideal of beauty translated into sculptures destined for the most prestigious aristocratic residences.
Of considerable scenic impact and high executive quality, 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-level interior design contexts.
