Decorative sculpture "Venus on the shell"

A decorative sculpture representing a classical female figure, directly inspired by the Renaissance iconography of Venus, in her emblematic pose associated with the birth of the sea goddess.

It belongs to the universe of decorative reproductions of classical art — pieces highly valued throughout the 20th century and still produced today in resin, composite alabaster or "bonded marble", materials that allow for capturing softness and detail with elegance.

The figure follows the traditional composition: Venus on the shell, long hair sculpted in motion, a modest pose, and a shell-shaped base. The aesthetic is close to Italian commercial productions, such as those by Santini, renowned for their smooth finish and careful definition of elements — especially visible in the hair work and the shaping of the shell.

With a height of 59 cm and a width of 20 cm, this piece has a significant sculptural presence, ideal for classic environments, home galleries, Mediterranean-inspired interiors, or collections dedicated to figurative art.

A decorative interpretation of a universal icon — where classical beauty meets the serenity of gesture.
