Clearance - Unknown Artist: Black Aphrodite
Unknown Artist: Black Aphrodite
ENLARGE

Our reproduction is based on the Medici Aphrodite—a Roman copy of a Greek original—now in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The original sculpture, no longer in existence, is attributed to the school of Athenian sculptor Praxiteles, about 300 B.C. The sculptor depicted Aphrodite looking sharply to the left and trying to cover herself with both arms, having been surprised while bathing. Produced in cooperation with the Vatican Museums.

Cast marble, hand patinated. Height including polymer base with a hand-painted mahogany finish 22 in.

Original price $295

This item cannot be gift wrapped or boxed. See details.
