Venere in ginocchio

The Kneeling Venus is one of the most celebrated poses in the history of Western sculpture, evoking the goddess of love and beauty in a moment of intimate grace. Inspired by Hellenistic prototypes — most notably the Crouching Aphrodite, known through Roman copies preserved in major collections including the Museo Nazionale Romano — this iconography captures Venus in a posture of quiet vulnerability and timeless femininity. The bent knee and gently inclined figure convey a sense of movement suspended in stone, a hallmark of the refined naturalism that defined late Greek sculptural tradition.

Italpark’s interpretation of this classical subject is crafted from an agglomerato cementizio composto da graniglia di marmo di Carrara e cemento bianco RCK 52,5, the same high-quality compound that has distinguished the company’s production in Borgo San Giacomo, Brescia, since 1968. Each piece is individually rifinita a mano by skilled artisans, ensuring that the surface texture, facial expression, and flowing drapery details retain the expressive depth of the original sculptural tradition. Standing approximately 135 cm tall on a base of roughly 70 × 48 cm, this is a substantial decorative presence with a weight of approximately 285 kg — a testament to the solidity and permanence of genuine Italian craftsmanship.

This classical garden statue is ideally suited to formal gardens, villa terraces, landscaped parks, and elegant outdoor courtyards. Positioned along a garden path, at the centre of a reflecting pool surround, or as a focal point within a sculpted hedge, the Kneeling Venus brings an atmosphere of classical refinement to any exterior setting. A distinguished example of classical sculpture Made in Italy, it represents the enduring dialogue between ancient art and contemporary decorative culture — 100% Made in Italy.
