Brossura. Condición: nuovo. edizione illustrata. pp. 176, ill. 132 a colori nel testo, brossura con alette La Vénus d'Arles, héritière de l'art de Praxitèle, est l'une des incarnations les plus saisissantes d'Aphrodite, déesse du désir, de la beauté et de la puissance vitale. Découverte à Arles en 1651, offerte à Louis XIV, installée à Versailles, aujourd'hui considérée comme une œuvre majeure du Louvre, son absence de Provence a renforcé son prestige et créé le mythe de « la grande païenne » chantée par les Félibres. Son prêt au Musée départemental Arles antique, accompagné de nombreux chefs-d'œuvre, est l'occasion d'explorer l'Empire de Vénus dans toute son amplitude : apparition fulgurante née de l'écume, force érotique et cosmique, déesse des parures, figure ardente, puis féconde, enfin mythe disputé et réinventé par les écrivains, les historiens et les artistes d'aujourd'hui. Ce livre sur la Vénus d'Arles, composé de nombreuses illustrations, d'essais érudits, d'analyses thématiques et de documents historiques, dévoile les multiples identités de la statue arlésienne. Aphrodite s'y révèle, puissance active, admirée et redoutée, figure toujours vivante, toujours capable d'ensorceler notre présent. E perqué, iéu crestian, te cante, o grand pagano .
