Description
After Antonio Canova Sculpture Of "Paulina Borghese" as Venus - (22lbs)
In this sculpture, we have a portrayal of Paulina Borghese assuming the role of Venus Victoria, inspired by Antonio Canova's monumental statue. Considered one of Canova's most masterful works, this marble portrait depicts the stunning Paulina, who happened to be the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. Created between 1805 and 1808, Canova deviated from the customary practice of adorning individuals of high rank with drapery. Instead, he transformed Paulina into a goddess of antiquity, capturing her in a pose of classical serenity and noble simplicity. This exceptional representation highlights the artist's skill in transcending the historical context and immortalizing his subject as a timeless figure embodying grace and tranquility.
Dimensions:
Height: 11.7"
Length: 19.5"
Depth: 5.1"
Weight: 22lbs
Material: Cold Form Carrara Marble
