The Aphrodite of Capuais a Roman marble sculpture (2nd century AD) preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. Found in the ruins of Santa Maria Capua Venere, during the excavations that involved the area of ​​the Campanian amphitheater.

Our statue is a bronze reproduction of the Venus of Capua, represented semi-naked with her left foot on Mars' helmet and arms raised which indicate that there probably also had to be a shield, used by the goddess to mirror herself. The sculpture reproduces the typical posture of Venus, with a drapery that emphasizes her grace, capturing the delicacy and perfection of classical art.

The work wants to pay homage to the original sculpture of the goddess, symbol of femininity and harmony.

Historical Curiosities 

The original statue of the Venus of Capua was discovered in the amphitheater of Capua, one of the most important cities of ancient Campania. Dating back to Roman times, the sculpture is probably inspired by Hellenistic models and celebrates Venus, known to the Greeks as Aphrodite, the goddess who embodies love, beauty and prosperity.

In Roman mythology, Venus was considered the progenitor of the Roman people through her son Aeneas, the Trojan hero.

Maintenance

To preserve the beauty and finish of bronze works it is important to follow simple maintenance advice. For regular cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and impurities. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish and instead opt for a light coat of neutral wax, applied with a soft cloth, to maintain the shine and protect the surface. Place the statue in a stable environment, away from excessive humidity or direct heat, which could accelerate the natural oxidation of the bronze.
