Unknown Artist: Aphrodite Torso
Unknown Artist: Aphrodite Torso
ENLARGE

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, inspired many of the greatest works of Greek art. One of the most famous is a marble statue created around 350 B.C. by the Athenian sculptor Praxiteles for Aphrodite's temple on the island of Knidos, off the coast of Asia. Although the original no longer exists, literary sources and ancient copies reveal its great fame. Our Aphrodite Torso is based on a Roman copy of the original Greek statue.

Cast marble, hand patinated. Height including base 18 3/8 in.

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