Description
This statue was found near the Monastery of Loukou, Arkadia. It was probably part of the decoration of the villa of Herodes Atticus.
Aphrodite was the first subject of female nudity in Western art. Her representation marked a shift from the more ancient depictions of naked women which were much more opulent, often being the embodiment of fecundity. The Roman and Greek Aphrodite was represented in a "mathematically perfect" way.
