Venus with the Pome Marble Sculpture Various Sizes

” Beauty is the name of something that does not exist, which I give to things in exchange for the pleasure they give me.”

Fernando Pessoa

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 them struggle to emerge from these extraordinary containers, which are too good to be true. Perfect anatomies, mysterious souls surpassing 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.

The goddess Venus represents love, beauty, fertility and seduction. The pome, or apple, is a fruit that played an important role in Greek and Roman mythology. According to legend, the goddess of discord, Eris, threw a golden apple with the inscription “to the fairest” during the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. Venus, Minerva and Juno competed for possession of the apple, but Zeus decided that the apple should be awarded to Paris, the prince of Troy, who had to choose among the three goddesses. Venus promised him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, in exchange for the apple. This event is known as the judgment of Paris and was one of the triggers of the Trojan War.

A timeless sculpture, it combines elegance and modernity and is easily paired with antique furniture, dark and fine woods, as well as innovative materials, such as glass and concrete, favored by modern interior design concepts. This work expresses at its best the immense creative and structural possibilities of natural stone, especially when the skilled hand of true craftsmanship, a symbol of the excellence of our entire Made in Italy tradition, is behind it.

Marble has always held a place of honor in interior and exterior architecture and decoration. A material that has always been used in a wide variety of fields, from large-scale construction and sculpture to everyday and domestic use. Thanks to its durability and versatility, complements, decorative objects and even utensils made of marble become immortal and lend an undisputed touch of elegance to any room and decor, from classic to modern.

The need to decorate rooms originates in the oldest traditions. Through objects and decorations we can express our personality and can change the atmosphere of a room with just a few touches and without substantial intervention.
