Venus Victrix is a masterpiece created by Antonio Canova, an Italian neoclassical sculptor. This sculpture is known as the pinnacle of neoclassical sculpture for its exquisite craftsmanship and elegant shape.
In this sculpture, Canova shaped Pauline into Venus, the goddess of victory in Roman mythology, holding an apple symbolizing victory (based on the myth of Paris’s golden apple). This decision not only highlights Pauline’s confidence and status but also perfectly combines her beauty with the image of the goddess in mythology.
Details of the Sculpture
This sculpture is presented in a semi-lying posture of Pauline, showing the ultimate pursuit of human aesthetics in neoclassicism. Pauline lies on her side on a luxurious Roman chaise longue, with her body slightly tilted back and graceful curves. Her arm gently supports her body, and her other hand holds an apple symbolizing victory, with a noble and calm temperament.
Canova used superb skills to show the soft texture of Pauline’s skin, and even the slender bones of her fingers and the natural curvature of her toes are lifelike. Her face is delicate and dignified, her eyes are slightly closed, and there is a faint smile at the corners of her lips, conveying a mysterious and charming emotion.

Sunset red Marble Version of “Venus Victrix”
Recently, we customized a unique version of the “Venus Victrix” sculpture for an Italian customer. This work has made bold innovations based on the original: the customer chose high-grade red marble as the main material. The warm red tone gives the sculpture a new beauty, which contrasts sharply with the classic white marble and is more modern and decorative.
The sculpture is paired with a green marble base, which forms a strong visual contrast and enhances the overall artistic atmosphere, making the sculpture more noble and elegant.
