A LARGE ITALIAN CARRARA MARBLE SCULPTURE OF CROUCHING VENUS
-
Description
The description outlines a large and impressive 19th-century Italian hand-carved White Carrara Marble figure of the crouching Venus, set on an octagonal base. This sculpture likely portrays Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, depicted in a characteristic crouching pose.
The use of White Carrara Marble, renowned for its purity and luminosity, adds to the elegance and timelessness of the sculpture. Venus's crouching pose, a subject often revisited in art, symbolizes grace, beauty, and femininity.
Additionally, the sculpture is presented on a 19th-century green marble circular pedestal with an octagonal top, offering a complementary base that enhances the visual presentation of the piece. The choice of green marble further adds a contrasting element, potentially highlighting the purity of the white marble Venus.
Overall, this 19th-century Italian hand-carved White Carrara Marble figure of the crouching Venus, elevated on a green marble pedestal, represents a classical and artistic interpretation of the mythological figure, capturing both the gracefulness and sculptural finesse associated with Venus in art.
