Bronze - Venus De Milo - 19th Century

Bronze - Venus De Milo - 19th Century Unsigned bronze with brown patina representing a reproduction of the statue of the Venus de Milo The Venus de Milo is a marble statue representing the Greek goddess Aphrodite (designated by its Latin equivalent Venus), found on the Greek island of Milos in April 1820 in a fragmentary state, without arms. It is an original work from the Hellenistic period, created around 150-130 BC. Its exhibition at the Louvre Museum in 1821 caused a sensation: it was the first statue to come from Greece into the collections and the first to be shown incomplete. Visible at the Galerie Courcelles Antiquités, at 41 rue des Acacias, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
