Description:
|
2nd century Roman copy of a Greek original of ca. 150 BCE attributed to the sculptor Doidalsas of Bithynia. The sculptor Doidalsas is known from the Roman author Pliny, who mentioned a statue of Venus bathing herself by this artist. During the Roman period, artists produced numerous copies of a statue of a naked crouching Venus, which presumably all derived from the same model. Unfortunately, the Latin text of Pliny is unclear at this point, and the actual reading of the name and the attribution of this group of crouching Venus statues are controversial.
