Large Plaster Sculpture Of Venus Of Arles

This replica of the Venus (Aphrodite) of Arles is characterized by a contrasting posture, where the weight of the body is shifted onto one leg, creating an "S" curve that gives grace and dynamism to the figure.  The contrasting pose gives the figure a sense of movement and vitality.  The distribution of weight on one leg and the inclination of the body create a dynamic balance.  The sculpture features detailed drapery that envelops the goddess' body.  The folds of the fabric are sculpted with great precision, suggesting softness and fluidity.
 You can see that the right arm is raised, probably in a gesture of greeting or offering, while the left arm is draped across the torso, adding an element of elegance.  Being a plaster copy, the work maintains the delicacy and details of the marble original, allowing you to appreciate classic sculptor techniques such as realistic proportions and the treatment of drapery.  This plaster copy of the Venus of Arles not only faithfully reproduces the original, but also allows you to study and appreciate the techniques and aesthetics of classical sculpture.
