Full-length white marble sculpture, representing "Venus Callipyge" known as "Venus with beautiful buttocks", having her left arm raised holding a drapery above her head and which covers part of her body. His right arm is crossed over his stomach, supporting the peplos. Her left shoulder as well as her right arm are adorned with a bracelet. The whole rests on a black marble base with an upside-down heel. This 19th century sculpture finds its inspiration in the Farnese Callipyge Venus by Jean-Jacques Clérion (1640-1714) copied from the Antique and located in the Parterre de Latona near the grove of the Ballroom in the gardens of the Château de Versailles.

What is a Callipyge Venus?

The Callipyge Venus is an ancient sculpture depicting a partially naked woman leaning forward to look behind her. The term “Callipyge” comes from ancient Greek and literally means “beautiful buttocks”. The original sculpture was made in the 4th century BC and attributed to different sculptors, including Praxiteles and Demetrios of Laodicea.

This sculpture represents a woman with generous shapes, emphasizing her hips and buttocks. She was celebrated for her physical beauty and charm. The Callipyge Venus was a popular figure in ancient art and is considered a symbol of femininity and fertility. The sculpture that we offer here is a copy of the French School of the 19th century.
