Sculpture representing "Venus at the bath"
Description:
Important statuary white marble sculpture with a base inlaid with yellow marble and Belgian Black.
Elegant and refined statuary white marble sculpture depicting Venus at the 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 plastic quality of the execution.
The work is distinguished by the excellent craftsmanship of the statuary marble, characterized by a delicate anatomical rendering and a refined treatment of the surfaces, capable of bestowing softness and luminosity to the figure. The composition is further enhanced by the precious octagonal architectural base, also in statuary white marble, embellished with elegant inlaid panels in yellow marble and profiles in Belgian Black, which create a suggestive chromatic contrast of great decorative effect.
Attributable to the sculptural sphere of Central Italy between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the work fully reflects the neoclassical taste of the era, when the recovery of the ancient ideal of beauty was 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 between the 18th and 19th centuries, ideal for prestigious collections and high-level interior design contexts.
