Bilder Unknown Artist – Statue of Venus (Veneris Statua) – Engraving (18th Century)

Beskrivning

This engraving documents a classical marble statue of Venus, often referred to as the Aphrodite Pudica type, where the goddess is shown nude attempting to cover herself. The standing figure is depicted next to a draped urn or pedestal, which supports the body and indicates the statuary context. The print was created as a systematic plate for a publication or catalog dedicated to reproducing notable examples of Greco-Roman sculpture studied during the period of the Grand Tour.

Unknown Artist. This print originates from the 18th-century European tradition of systematically documenting classical antiquity. Printmakers of this era often specialized in producing detailed engravings of sculptures found in prominent museums and private collections throughout Italy and Greece, catering to the strong scholarly and collecting interest in ancient art.
