Greek Hellenistic Terracotta Aphrodite Figure

Item Details

Description

Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. 2nd to 1st century BCE. A stunning mold-formed terracotta figure of Aphrodite (Roman Venus), the goddess of love, passion, and femininity, shown nude and holding a veil that drapes behind her back and over her legs. The goddess stands in an alluring pose reminiscent of the Venus pudica; her left hand located just below her sex, holding a veil to cover herself and her right arm bent at the elbow, with the hand grasping the other side of the veil over her shoulder, near her breast. Her slender body boasts a gentle hourglass form with a flat stomach, petite breasts, and shapely hips. An elegantly long neck supports a sweet visage, gazing outwards to her viewers and topped by a loosely braided coiffure that falls onto her shoulder, beneath her veil. An arresting idol of beauty, rich with the traditional iconography and artistic virtuosity of ancient Rome! Size: 3.25" W x 8.5" H (8.3 cm x 21.6 cm); 9.625" H (24.4 cm) on included custom stand.

Nude or partially nude statues of Aphrodite/Venus made quite a statement in their day (as well as beyond) because they were among the first sculptures to portray a goddess in the nude, a practice that previously had only been reserved for males. Women had been depicted in the nude on earlier Greek pottery paintings; however, those women were typically slave girls or courtesans rather than deities. As an image of a sensual Aphrodite, this example would have been regarded as quite erotic during antiquity. Speaking of the Aphrodite of Knidos for example, Pliny observed that some men were "overcome with love for the statue." Venus/Aphrodite has inspired countless seductive sculptural masterworks throughout art history, among the most famous, Attic sculptor Praxiteles's "Aphrodite of Knidos" (ca. 360 to 330 BCE), "Lely's Venus" (ca. 100 to 199 CE), a Roman copy of a Greek original which is now lost) named for the painter Sir Peter Lily, and Alexandros of Antioch's "Venus de Milo" (130 to 100 BCE).
