About the Item

Title: Venus the Bather Artist: Mandeville Bernier (French, active late 19th Early 20th century) Medium: Terracotta Date: Circa 1905 - 1910 This elegant terracotta sculpture by Mandeville and Bernier depicts Venus the Bather, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, captured in a moment of graceful modesty. The figure is shown partially draped, turning gently as she prepares to bathe, her pose combining sensuality with classical restraint. The artists' mastery of form is evident in the supple modelling of the body and the delicate treatment of the drapery, which clings lightly to the figure's contours. The warm, earthy tone of the terracotta enhances the naturalism of the piece, imbuing it with both softness and vitality. Typical of late 19th-century French sculpture, this work reflects the period's renewed interest in classical themes and its fascination with idealized femininity. The partnership of Mandeville and Bernier was known for producing finely modelled decorative sculptures that married technical precision with romantic allure, and Venus the Bather is among their most charming representations of mythological beauty.
