Verified profile

In 1799 the French moved to Paris, among the many Italian works of art, also the Medici Venus of the Uffizi, a Roman copy of Praxiteles' Aphrodite Cnidia. Antonio Canova was thus commissioned to make a copy of the work to replace the original. The plaster model is kept in the hall of the Civic Museum of Bassano del Grappa. The Venus Italica, built in 1812, was sculpted in marble with the inscription stolen by the Emperor on it, and placed inside the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
