Bust of Venus Italica

 

Size option 5cm high

 

The bust is part of the main sculpture which can be found at the Metmuseum 

 

The item is supplied unpainted and in an off white almost alabaster type resin finish. It will be supplied ready for tidying which will mean small nodules will need to be sanded or snapped off - this is super easy to do and takes just a minute or two.

 

"Canova's first marble Venus is in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence. Known as the Venus Italica, it was ordered in 1804 by Ludovico I, King of Etruria, as a replacement for the ancient Medici Venus that had been taken by the French for the Musée Napoleon. This replica, purchased from Canova's studio by the third marquess of Londonderry in late 1826 or early 1827, remained in Londonderry House, London, until 1962." ref https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/211504
