Bronze subject with a black patina depicting... - Lot 140 - Vasari Auction
Bronze subject with a black patina depicting Aphrodite attaching her sandal 19th century pedestal base (small wear and tear and slight dents in the base) Total height: 17.5 cm Note: Similar model from the Roman period kept in the Louvre under inventory reference Br 4417. This subject bears witness to the importance of the cult of Aphrodite in the eastern regions of the Roman Empire. It is inspired by a statuary model famous since the Hellenistic period and copied many times since: the goddess appears completely naked, detaching one of her sandals. The theme, which offers the pretext for a sensitive observation of the female body, is in line with classic creations.
