Bring the timeless beauty of classical sculpture into your home with this elegant 15-inch Venus de Milo, also known as Aphrodite of Melos, statue. Inspired by the celebrated ancient Greek masterpiece now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, this graceful reproduction captures the poised stance, softly modeled form, and flowing drapery that have made the Venus de Milo one of the most recognizable sculptures in the world.
Traditionally dated to the Hellenistic period, the original was discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Melos, or Milo. The figure is generally identified as Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, known to the Romans as Venus. Her calm expression and idealized form have made the sculpture an enduring symbol of classical beauty.
This finely detailed reproduction is recreated in Italy by Master Sculptor A. Giannelli and produced by artisans of the Egregia Workshop. The sculpture is made from alabaster dust blended with a durable binding compound, creating a smooth bonded alabaster composition that allows the folds of the garment and contours of the figure to be reproduced with remarkable clarity.
Mounted on a solid alabaster base, the 15-inch statue has a substantial, museum-inspired presentation that works beautifully in a library, office, mantel display, classical interior, or fine art collection.
Whether you know her as Venus or Aphrodite, this Italian reproduction celebrates one of antiquity's most enduring images of love, beauty, and feminine grace.
The original Venus de Milo was discovered on the Greek island of Melos in 1820 and is generally dated to around the late Hellenistic period. Today it is displayed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Although commonly called Venus de Milo, the figure is Greek and is usually identified as Aphrodite. Her missing arms have become part of the sculpture's instantly recognizable silhouette, while the gently twisting torso and deeply carved drapery give the figure a sense of both balance and movement.
Over time, the Venus de Milo became one of the most familiar images of classical art, admired for its combination of idealized beauty and natural human form.
