An Old Copy
While I was at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) a few weeks ago to catch a pic of the red bus I wandered into the restored original entrance to the museum to check out the new look. This statue was in one of the alcoves of the rotunda. This marble Aphrodite Of Knidos is a 2nd century AD Roman copy of a 4th century BC Greek sculpture by Praxiteles. Copying is not a new thing!

That is so true! This is a beautiful piece. I bet the museum is full of beautiful things.
Hello,
It is a beautiful statue. Have a happy day and a great weekend!
Awesome!
The statue is beautiful. A wonderful piece of art.
I'm trying to now envision that standing at the entrance to my house. :-)
Ancient art is such a marvel.
That lady has been disarmed, so she might be safe.
Stil a strong one. Replica or not.
She has a few parts missing. :-)
Stunning! That copy is pretty ancient in its own right Pat ✨
