Statue of Aphrodite

Replica of a statue from the Hellenistic era, depicting the goddess Aphrodite.

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, love, and fertility, was a beloved subject of artists during this era. The freestanding marble sculptures of ancient Greece impress with their natural movement and grace, as Greek sculptors had the expertise on how to use the hard stone to attribute the human body, the volume of rich garments, and the beauty of a face.
