EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of "Venus, model 1817 / 1820" a stunning marble sculpture created by the renowned artist Antonio Canova. Carved between 1822 and 1823, this masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 175.2 centimeters. The sculpture depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, in all her ethereal glory. With her graceful pose and delicate features, she exudes a sense of divine elegance that has captivated art enthusiasts for centuries. In this neoclassical representation, Venus stands in contrapposto, with one leg slightly bent and her weight shifted to create a naturalistic stance. The drapery gently wraps around her body, partially covering her nudity while adding an element of mystery to the composition. From a profile view, we can appreciate every intricate detail carved into the smooth marble surface. The sculptor's skill is evident in capturing not only Venus' physical form but also conveying her mythical essence as a deity. Displayed within the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork from William A. Clark Collection continues to inspire awe and admiration among visitors who are fortunate enough to witness its grandeur firsthand. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can now bring home a piece of classical art history – an exquisite portrayal of feminine beauty that transcends time itself.
