Description from the seller
Pair of Classical Sculptures in Bonded Marble & Resin – Aphrodite of Knidos & Persephone – Signed "Diogenes"
A refined pair of decorative sculptures representing two of the most iconic figures of Greek Mythology. These pieces are high-quality artistic reproductions based on ancient classical and Hellenistic prototypes, meticulously crafted to capture the elegance of ancient Greek art.
-Aphrodite of Knidos: Based on the legendary masterpiece by Praxiteles, this figure depicts the goddess in a "pudica" (modest) pose, preparing for her ritual bath while draped over a hydria.
-Persephone: A majestic representation of the Queen of the Underworld. She is depicted in a thoughtful, draped pose, wearing a heavy chiton and himation (cloak) with intricate folding details that showcase the craftsmanship of the mold.
Expertly crafted from a composite of Bonded Marble (marble dust) and Polyresin. This technique allows for highly intricate details (as seen in the drapery) and results in a lighter weight compared to solid marble, while maintaining the appearance of a carved stone sculpture.
Hand-applied aged patina in sepia and ochre tones. This finish highlights the deep carvings of the drapery and hair, giving the pieces an "excavation find" or antique ivory aesthetic.
From the well-known Greek studio "DIOGENES" specializing in fine museum-grade replicas and artistic casting.
Excellent Vintage Condition. The patina is well-preserved, and there are no significant chips or cracks.
Greece, 1950s - 1960s.
Dimensions: 22,6 X 8 X 8 cm and 24,8 X 8 X 8 cm.
Shipped carefully packaged and tracked.
