H. 32 cm REFERENCE WORK: Antonio Canova, Italian Venus, 1804, white marble, Palatine Gallery, Pitti Palace, Florence This charming little bronze is inspired by the famous marble of the Venus Italica executed by the master of the neoclassical school, Antonio Canova, at the request of Louis I of Etruria to replace the illustrious antique figure of the Medici Venus taken away by Napoleonic troops in 1802.
