Venere de' Medici Silvery-Plaster Sculpture

Masterfully sculpted by Romanelli artists, this elegant sculpture reproduces a priceless Hellenistic marble statue from the 1st century BC housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The minute, accurate rendering of the locks of hair creates superb interplays of lights and shadows that, together with the rest of the bust, are enhanced by the shimmering silver leaf.
