Like a vision, she emerged from the sea. Her powers over men and gods alike were legendary. She captivated hearts and imaginations for centuries. Now, Lalique has immortalized Venus, the unrivaled goddess of love and beauty, in a single block of satin-finished Black crystal.
Femininity was always
one of Rene Lalique's favourite themes.
This great artist of Art Deco, also
referred to as the "Rodin of
transparencies", often used the female
figure to adorn his creations. LALIQUE
takes up with this tradition of sculpture.
Intended for collectors, this statue is a
sublimated interpretation of the beauty
and love goddess, featuring grace and
sensuality. True artistic prowess, the
"Grande Nue Venus" is entirely modelled in
black satin-finished crystal. Her refined
and powerful curves are stunningly
realistic, which highlights the
extraordinary capacity of LALIQUE Glass
Masters to give crystal both shape and
life, by serving creation and emotion
through their traditional know-how. |
