Venus Italica Statue inspired by the celebrated marble sculpture commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte and created by Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (ca 1802). This artwork was to serve as replacement for the Venus de Medici, ancient Greek sculpture, which had been taken to the Louvre in 1802 by orders of Napoleon. After Napoleon's abdication the Venus de Medici had to be returned to Italy in 1815.


BONDED MARBLE

Our bonded marble sculptures are crafted using a blend of white Carrara marble powder and designer resin as the binding material. This unique combination allows for incredible detail and precision in every piece. Each sculpture is meticulously hand-finished to achieve a fine matte surface, giving it a unique bisque porcelain texture.



SOLID ALABASTER BASE

Each sculpture is mounted on a solid alabaster base, chosen for its natural beauty and distinctive character. Alabaster, a fine-grained, translucent stone, is known for its soft, diffused glow when exposed to light, adding a subtle depth to the sculpture above. Its smooth, polished surface contrasts elegantly with the matte, biscuit porcelain-like texture of the artwork, creating a balanced and harmonious presentation.
