19th Century
Venus with Apple
Alabaster, height 18 cm
The small sculpture depicts Venus, the goddess of beauty and love. The languid and sinuous yet innocent and chaste pose recalls more famous examples such as Venus with the Apple by Bertel Thorvaldsen, a neoclassical sculptor of the 19th century. The goddess silently observes the fruit she holds in her right hand, while with her left she holds the cloth used to cover her nudity. The fruit is usually depicted in the hands of the goddess of beauty in memory of the dispute over the golden apple contested between Juno, Minerva, and Venus herself, and won by the latter, considered the most beautiful by the Trojan prince Paris; in exchange, the goddess offers the young man the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, an infatuation that led to the outbreak of the Trojan War.
