This monumental Venus marble statue by Bengt Erland Fogelberg (180cm) is a masterfully hand-carved reconstruction created by our workshop, sculpted from 100% natural marble and inspired by the celebrated Neoclassical interpretation of the goddess of beauty. Rooted in classical mythology, Venus is the Roman counterpart of Aphrodite, embodying love, grace, and idealized feminine beauty. In this composition, she delicately holds the apple awarded by Paris in the legendary Judgment of Paris, symbolizing her triumph as the fairest among the goddesses. At her feet stands her son Amor (Cupid), the god of love, reinforcing the poetic narrative of affection, desire, and divine connection.
Fogelberg’s interpretation reflects a deep admiration for ancient Greek sculpture, particularly the Venus de Milo, which he studied during his time in Rome. This influence is evident in the harmonious proportions, serene expression, and refined balance between naturalism and idealization. The sculpture captures the essence of absolute beauty, a concept highly valued in Neoclassical art, where simplicity, clarity, and elegance define perfection. The gentle posture, soft modeling of the body, and graceful drapery create a timeless aesthetic that bridges antiquity and modern appreciation.
Our 180cm reconstruction faithfully preserves these qualities while enhancing them through meticulous hand carving. Every detail—from the smooth contours of Venus’s figure to the delicate presence of Amor—is sculpted with precision and care. The natural marble brings a luminous quality to the surface, with subtle veining that ensures each statue is entirely unique. Unlike resin or cast reproductions, genuine marble offers durability, authenticity, and a true museum-quality presence, making this piece a lasting investment in fine art.
Standing at an impressive 180cm tall, this Venus sculpture is ideal for luxury interiors, galleries, museums, architectural spaces, hotels, and grand residences. It serves as both a striking visual centerpiece and a symbol of classical refinement, embodying the enduring ideals of beauty, love, and artistic excellence.
This hand-carved natural marble reconstruction of Venus by Fogelberg is perfect for collectors, designers, and art enthusiasts seeking a sculpture rich in mythological meaning and historical significance. Owning this piece means bringing home a timeless representation of divine beauty and Neoclassical artistry, inspired by one of the most admired traditions in Western art history.
