Mythology loves goddesses. They are the keepers of love, peace, beauty, passion, and happiness, all the positive emotions that drive us, human beings, and this makes it easier for people to relate to them.
But, out of all the goddesses, Aphrodite or Venus is the most popular, being the goddess that both men and women hold in high regard. As a goddess of love, passion, and beauty, Venus held a very privileged position in the ancient pantheon and was the most commonly worshipped among all the goddesses. The most interesting aspect of the story though is Venus’s expression.
It has been said that Venus statues
usually have the most tranquil and peaceful expressions, even going as far back
as Venus De Milo, the oldest Venus statue in existence.
The reason behind it is unknown,
but the theories abound.
The standard explanation is that
all Greek statues were grounded in a canon of proportions, based on the golden
ratio and the ratio of lengths of body parts to each other.
Another theory states that
Venus, considered to be the most beautiful of all the Gods, was always given
the same tranquil expression, considered to be the epitome of beauty in those
times.
And yet a third theory says
that a statue of a God or Goddess was considered to be of such supreme divinity
that those gazing upon it never looked directly at the face. As a result, the
faces were always crafted in an expression of classic reserve, befitting their
stature.
Whatever the actual reason may be,
we cannot refute the fact that the Venus statues have always been the epitome
of grace, poise, elegance, and beauty, and this Venus sculpture, from
the House of G-Art, is an ode to this.
The expression on the face of this elegantly crafted
and intricate statute beautifully captures the serenity and peace that Venus
statues are known for, while the seamless form is a testament to her stature as
a goddess and her unmatched beauty. So if you have been looking for an
investment that moves away from the run-of-mill art pieces you see, this is a
statue you must bring home.
