Description:
|
|
Imperial Roman copy, made for Sicilian patrons, of a 2nd century BCE Hellenistic original, found in 1804 by Severio Landolina (aristocrat and amateur archaeologist). Guy de Maupassant came to see her in 1885 and left a vivid description. The Hellenistic original was from Rhodes, dateable to the 1st half of the 2nd century BCE, a copy of the votive statue in Temple of Aphrodite near the great harbor. The dolphin on the base refers to her as Venus Anadyomene (rising from the sea), but she is also a Venus Pudica, nude save for a richly draped himation which she retains with her left hand in front of her pudenda. (Source: Carratelli, Giovanni Pugliese, ed.; The Greek World: Art and Civilization in Magna Graecia and Sicily, New York: Rizzoli, 1996)
