• EXHIBITED ROMAN BRONZE FIGURE OF
  EXHIBITED ROMAN BRONZE FIGURE OF VENUS, EX-SOTHEBY'SRoman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A stunning leaded bronze figure of Venus (Greek Aphrodite), the goddess of love and beauty, resembling Praxiteles Aphrodite of Knidos, enveloped in a verdant green patina. Crowned by a crescent-shaped diadem, the gorgeous deity stands in contrapposto with her right leg bent at the knee and her weight gracefully shifted. Her left arm gently bends as her hand grazes her body, hovering over her sex, perhaps a gesture of modesty like the Venus Pudica, and her right hand extends out from her body in a welcoming pose. The goddess turns her head ever-so-slightly toward her right, her tranquil visage displaying naturalistic features framed by a rolled back coiffure resolving in a chignon, while soft tendrils grace her shoulders. A truly remarkable relic from the ancient Roman Empire! Size: 2" W x 6.5" H (5.1 cm x 16.5 cm); 7.9" H (20.1 cm) on included custom stand. A breathtaking representation of the goddess who possessed such sublime beauty that she inspired much rivalry among the gods, all of whom wished to make her his wife. According to classical mythology, Jupiter (Zeus) determined that Venus (Aphrodite) would marry Vulcan (Hephaestus), the handicapped blacksmith god. Vulcan in turn created a magical girdle to guarantee her fidelity. Unfortunately for him, the Goddess of Love and Beauty proved unfaithful. Venus (Aphrodite) has inspired countless representations in visual culture, among the most famous, Attic sculptor Praxiteles' "Aphrodite of Knidos" (ca. 360 to 330 BCE) and Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" (1484-86).

• LOVELY & IMPORTANT ROMAN SILVER
  LOVELY & IMPORTANT ROMAN SILVER STATUETTE OF VENUSRoman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to early 3rd century CE. An exquisite statuette cast from 70% to 75% silver depicting Venus (Greek Aphrodite), the goddess of love, romance, and passion. Venus stands with her left leg extended and wears a luxurious chiton that is draped across her left shoulder. Her right hand is held atop her thigh as her left hand grasps her breast to keep her flowing garment from falling. Her classic visage is defined by sensitive almond-shaped eyes under heavy brows, a petite nose above full lips, rounded cheeks, and a scallop-adorned fillet, all beneath a wavy, centrally parted coiffure which culminates in a bun on the verso. The importance of this piece stems from its large size - similar examples tend to be smaller - and how it is made from silver rather than bronze or another, less opulent material. An exceedingly rare and exemplary statuette of Venus! Size: 1.25" W x 4.7" H (3.2 cm x 11.9 cm); 7.25" H (18.4 cm) on included custom stand; silver quality: 70% to 75% Venus (Aphrodite in the Greek pantheon) has inspired countless depictions throughout the history of artistic creation. Among the most famous are Greek Attic sculptor Praxiteles' "Aphrodite of Knidos" (ca. 360 to 330 BCE), the equally famous "Lely's Venus" (ca. 100 to 199 CE), Alexandros of Antioch's "Venus de Milo" (ca. 130 to 100 BCE), the Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli's masterful painting "Birth of Venus" (1484 to 1486 CE), and Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens' equally masterful painting "Judgement of Paris" (ca. 1636).
