Allegrain's Venus of the Bath
Allegrain's Venus of the Bath. This beautiful and beautiful sublime figure captivated a large number of famous personalities in history. Instead of sculpting the idealized body of a goddess, Allegrain shows a woman in all her mortal realism. The fluidity of the contours, the feeling of satiety, the voluptuousness of her gesture, and the refinement of the haircut are eminently sensual.
Christophe-Gabriel Allegrain (1710 – 1795) was a French sculptor who developed his work in a neoclassical style tempered with the softness and charm of Rococo.
High quality decorative figure, made of reconstituted marble (marble powder bound with chronolite) and finely polished. Patinated with natural earths, which give the finish of a sculpture embellished by the passage of time.
