About the Item

A wonderfully executed Italian 19th century white Carrara marble statue of Venus by the Waves, signed by Cesare Lapini, 1885. The statue is raised by a circular mottled base below the naked Venus with her arms crossed above her head while gazing at the waves beneath her. Having a calm gaze while looking downwards, she is feeling the waves crashing onto her body while her hair is blown to her side and back. Wonderful subject matter and attention to detail throughout. Cesare Lapini (1848 - 1893) - Born in Florence. Lapini was a famous and acclaimed Italian sculptor of the 19th century who sculpted both small marble and larger works. Many of his subjects were female and among his most recognized works are Sorpresa, a young woman surprised while disrobing, Il primo bacio, Quanto ti voglio bene, Non Ci Credo, Fior del pensiero; La serenata, and Amore del mare.
