Aphrodite Bretagne Carnac Found Statuettes Venus Anadyomene Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of exquisite Aphrodite statuettes, also known as Venus Anadyomene, discovered at Carnac in Bretagne, France. The ancient site of Carnac is renowned for its remarkable alignment of megalithic stones, but these precious artifacts, hidden away in the Musée de Préhistoire de Carnac, often go unnoticed. Venus Anadyomene, or Venus Rising from the Sea, is a popular depiction of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. In this representation, she is shown emerging from the sea, naked and draped in a cloak, as the goddess Eros helps her up. The statuettes date back to the 3rd or 2nd century BC and are believed to have been created in Greece before being transported to Gaul, where they were highly valued. The delicate and intricately carved details of these statuettes are truly awe-inspiring. The goddess's graceful form is captured in the moment of her emergence from the water, her body glistening with the dew of the sea. The sculptor's mastery of the human form is evident in the subtle curves and lifelike expressions. Each statuette is a testament to the artistic skill and reverence for the goddess that existed during this period. The discovery of these Aphrodite statuettes at Carnac adds to the rich history and cultural significance of the site. They serve as a reminder of the ancient connections between Greece and Gaul, and the enduring influence of Greek mythology on European culture. This print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in ancient history, mythology, or art history.
