Venus

Venus: To The Venus Of Melos is a book written by Auguste Rodin, a renowned French sculptor, in 1912. The book is a tribute to the ancient Greek sculpture, the Venus de Milo, also known as the Venus of Melos. In the book, Rodin discusses the beauty and significance of the Venus de Milo, which he considers to be one of the greatest sculptures of all time. He explores the history and mythology surrounding the sculpture, as well as its technical aspects, such as the use of drapery and the sculpting of the figure's anatomy. Rodin also reflects on his own artistic process and the influence that the Venus de Milo has had on his work. He discusses his own sculptures of female figures, which he created with the goal of capturing the same sense of beauty and grace that he saw in the Venus de Milo. Overall, Venus: To The Venus Of Melos is a fascinating exploration of one of the most iconic sculptures in history, as well as an insightful look into the mind of a master sculptor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
