Bilder Unknown Artist – Statue of Venus Pudica (Capitoline Venus) – Engraving (c. 1800)

Beskrivning

This detailed engraving documents a classical marble statue, representing a variation of the Venus Pudica type, where the goddess is shown nude, standing with her arm crossed toward her body while holding drapery over an accompanying vase or urn. This specific pose is strongly associated with the Capitoline Venus. The print was created as a high-quality systematic plate for a publication or catalog dedicated to reproducing notable examples of Greco-Roman sculpture during the height of the Neoclassical movement.

Unknown Artist. This print originates from the late 18th or early 19th-century European tradition of documenting and disseminating images of celebrated classical antiquities. Printmakers during this period specialized in producing highly detailed engravings of the most famous statues held in major European collections, satisfying the intense demand among Grand Tour travelers and collectors for copies of Greek and Roman masterworks.
