| Venus Victoruis- Pauline Bonaparte- Antonio Canova- FS |
The item you are looking at is a beautiful reproduction of the very famous
sculpture Venus Victorious. It was very common to create portraits of people
and depict them in the image of godlike figures, as with this sculpture. Most
people consider this sculpture to be a depiction of Napolean Bonaparte's scandalous
younger sister Pauline. Perhaps that's why the artist drew influences from
the goddess Venus. This particular piece was made by M. Lucchesi and is from
Marwal Ind Inc. It is also marked as haven been made in 1968. The item is
in excellent condition and measures 23 inches in length. Upon inspection I
discovered that this sculpture was made from some type of plaster cast so
it is quite strong and a direct replica of the sculpture.
