Stand B7 at the Salon Art and Design Show at the Park Avenue
Armory from November 7-11, 2024
NEW
YORK, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
enchanting Goddess of Love is set to grace the Park Avenue Armory
once again as Phoenix Ancient Art presents a captivating exhibition
at the Salon Art + Design from November
7-11, 2024. This year's showcase promises an exquisite
selection of museum-quality antiquities and ancient jewelry,
celebrating the timeless beauty of Aphrodite.
We are thrilled to showcase these
extraordinary pieces, especially the masterful Greek marble head of
Aphrodite with preserved polychrome, a stunning representation of
the goddess that captures her grace.
Aphrodite was not only known as the goddess of love and
sexuality, but also as the rare Roman interpretation of Venus
Vitrix. In this image, instead of holding a mirror and arranging
her hair, Venus holds a sword in her left arm and raises the right
one to place the sheath strap around her neck. The Romanized aspect
as Venus Victrix was based on a mythological story described by
Hellenistic poets - Aphrodite disarming her lover, the war god
Ares. With a playful little Amor assisting, the scene has an
apparent erotic flavor and symbolic meaning – the goddess of love
holds the weapon as a metaphor of amor omnia vincit – love conquers
all.
Among the highlights of the exhibition will be a Roman life-size
marble torso of Aphrodite, which beautifully encapsulates her
essence and form. This exquisite sculpture exemplifies the artistry
of the Roman period and invites viewers to appreciate the idealized
beauty of the divine.
Visitors will also enjoy a remarkable collection that includes
Egyptian statuettes and Greek vases, alongside a group of
sculptures of Aphrodite that evoke her beauty. Additionally, the
exhibition will feature an array of Greek and Roman jewelry, each
piece telling a story of love and devotion, making this collection
a must-see for art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Hicham Aboutaam, a leading figure
in the world of ancient art and president of Electrum, invites
everyone to explore the rich history and artistry that Phoenix
Ancient Art has to offer. "We are thrilled to showcase these
extraordinary pieces, especially the masterful Greek marble head of
Aphrodite with preserved polychrome, a stunning representation of
the goddess that captures her grace. This exhibition not only
highlights the craftsmanship of the ancient world but also invites
us to reflect on the themes of beauty and love that continue to
resonate today."
