This is a small scale reproduction of the original statue by Cristophe-Gabriel Allegrain in 1767. Measures 4" around by 14 1/2" tall Sticker on bottom of base Classic Figure Sculptor A. Santini Made in Italy Pre owned, the piece is fairly dirty and could use a good cleaning, but otherwise in good condition. Allegrain?s most famous work, Venus at the Bath (also known as The Bather or La Baigneuse), commissioned in 1756 and completed in 1767, was his sole Court commission, apart from the lost Batteuse de buerre, executed in stone for Madame de Pomadour?s dairy at Crecy. Louis XV gave Venus to Madame du Barry, who placed it in the garden of her Chateau de Louveciennes. After the king?s death she commissioned from Allegrain a pendant bather of practically the same subject, Diana surprised by Actaeon, which was also placed in her landscaped garden. Both are now in the Louvre: the pieces remain popular and are often reproduced - "As Venus and Diane they provided an allegory of Du Barry?s past sensual love and her present chaste condition". A Santini statue is a sculpture made by the Santini family. Amilcare Santini was born in Florence, Tuscany, where he apprenticed under Colombini and developed his skills as a sculpture artist in marble, alabaster and resin. The Santini family features three generations of sculptors, and their sculptures are highly coveted by collectors.
