Venus Victorious statue is a semi-nude life-size reclining neoclassical portrait sculpture by Italian sculptor Antonio Canova. The beautiful woman reclines on the bed, an apple in her hand, recalling Aphrodite’s victory in the Trial of Paris.
Paulina Borghese was the wife of Camillo Borghese and sister of Napoleon. Shortly after their wedding, Camillo asked Canova to create a semi-nude sculpture of his wife. The original plan for the sculpture was of Diana, the goddess of the hunt, but Paulina insisted on making it Venus.
Generally speaking, there are very few works that use women from famous families as models without clothes. People at that time asked her how she could wear such cool clothes. She replied: There was a fireplace in the room and it was not cold at all.
