EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of "Venus Italica" a marble sculpture created by the renowned artist Antonio Canova. Crafted between 1815 and 1822, this masterpiece stands tall at an impressive height of 172.1 centimeters, with its delicate features and intricate drapery capturing the essence of elegance. Displayed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA, this artwork was acquired through generous funds from the North Carolina State Art Society's Robert F. Phifer Bequest. Its presence in this museum allows art enthusiasts to appreciate its exquisite craftsmanship up close. The figure depicted is none other than Venus, a prominent character in mythology symbolizing love and beauty. This portrayal emphasizes her European origins while showcasing her nudity as a testament to classical aesthetics. Despite being made from stone, "Venus Italica" exudes a sense of modesty that adds depth to her allure. The startled expression on her face further enhances the sculpture's emotional impact, leaving viewers captivated by its lifelike qualities. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this magnificent artwork in their photo print. It serves as a reminder that even centuries after its creation, Canova's masterpiece continues to inspire awe and admiration for both his skill as an Italian sculptor and for Venus herself – an eternal symbol of grace and femininity.
