Note du spécialiste

The Venus de Capua is based on a sculpture from the empire of Hadrian (117 to 138 AD). It is thought the present model and the Venus de Milo are originally copies of a lost sculpture of Aphrodite attributed to the sculptor Lysippus, regarded as one of the greatest sculptors of his time.
