“[…] In the first sun it sparkled with curls,<\/em>
\nReversed the immense equoreal pubis.<\/em>
\nCandid, in itself saddened, moist still,<\/em>
\nOut of the foams a maiden emerged.<\/em>
\nLike the freshly put green leaf<\/em>
\nquivers, stretches and languidly unfolds,<\/em>
\nThus, to within untouched coolness,<\/em>
\nIn the faint morning breeze,<\/em>
\nGradually his body unfolded. […]\u201c<\/em><\/h4>\n

Rainer Maria Rilke, The Birth of Venus<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Venus<\/strong> is depicted full-length, her right hand resting on her breast with a demure gesture, her left hand on her pubis holding a lock of her very long hair moved by the wind. The head slightly reclined, the facial expression gentle and mild. Balanced, she is placed on the edge of a shell that leads her to the landing on the island of Cyprus. Motion and stillness coexist in the same figure: the statuesque body and standing pose are counterpointed by the swaying hair, the delicate shell that moves pushed by the wind and waves becomes a solid support under her feet. Venus for the Romans, Aphrodite for the Greeks, is one of the best known goddesses, a symbol of universal Love and Beauty. The Goddess has always dominated the collective imagination as an icon of absolute, eternal Beauty.<\/strong> It is Among the most complex and enduring symbols since ancient times, still able to seduce, changing shape and physiognomy. The Goddess is the most fascinating entity that has always accompanied us, she is the most representative symbol of lovers of the Beautiful, lovers of Art. Her birth, lost between myth and history, the foam of the sea and the languages of art, has never stopped renewing the evolution of symbolism related to fertility and spirituality, purity, grace, beauty, sensuality and love, making her an icon as well as an emblem of feminist struggles. The combination and contrast of materials, in harmony with the sinuosity of the form, give the sculpture a unique and refined character. Through the display of the Venus, an allure of beauty and sensuality that is never vulgar or obvious can be conveyed to the setting.<\/p>\n

The timeless aesthetic perfection of Sculpture , has accompanied us since Antiquity. If the marble flesh is shaped following a precise study of forms and features, the spirits contained within struggle to emerge from these extraordinary containers, too beautiful to be true.Perfect anatomies, mysterious souls that surpass reality, always turning to ideal beauty. Whether they are mythological figures, literary or religious characters, allegorical representations, women of unparalleled beauty, they are always works that are inspired by the past while turning to the future.<\/p>\n
