Venus de Milo statue
Venus is the Roman goddess of love,
equivalent to Greek Aphrodite and
Etruscan Turan. Her cult began in Ardea
and Lavinium, Latium. Venus became
a popular subject of painting and
sculpture during the Renaissance
period in Europe. As a "classical" figure
for whom nudity was her natural state, it
was socially acceptable to depict her
unclothed. As the goddess of love, a
degree of erotic beauty in her
presentation was justified, which had an
obvious appeal to many artists and their
patrons.
This statue is reproduction of the
famous Venus de Milo now in the Louvre
Museus in Paris. Made of cast stone,
hand finished with antique finished.
