Bronze Figure of Paolina Bonaparte as Venus Victrix – After A. Canova, Paris circa 1950
This solid bronze figure depicts Paolina Bonaparte as Venus Victrix, a famous motif by Antonio Canova (1757–1822), the renowned neoclassical sculptor. Likely cast in Paris around 1950, this high-quality bronze recast honors Canova’s original masterpiece, created between 1805–1808, which is housed in the Galleria Borghese, Rome.
The figure portrays Paolina Bonaparte reclining gracefully, capturing the elegance and sensuality of the original sculpture. The bronze features a dark brown patina and is mounted on a rectangular black marble plinth. The plinth is engraved “A. Canova”, with the foundry mark “J.B. Deposee, Bronze Garanti Paris.”
This exquisite figure is ideal for collectors of neoclassical sculpture, fine art enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a refined decorative piece with historical significance.
