Venus of Arles Lifesize Classical Garden Statue – 80H

Aphrodite’s Grace for a Classical Garden Setting

This impressive Venus of Arles statue brings museum-style elegance into your garden or entry courtyard. Inspired by the famous marble in the Louvre, the figure stands in a relaxed yet dignified pose. Drapery folds wrap around her hips while the upper body remains beautifully idealized. The result is a calm, timeless presence that recalls ancient temple sanctuaries and villa gardens.

The original sculpture, known as the Venus of Arles, is traditionally linked to the sculptor Praxiteles, active in the fourth century BCE. His work helped define the graceful, softly modeled style of late Classical Greek art. This lifesize Venus of Arles lifesize statue follows those proportions, echoing his interest in gentle movement and balanced symmetry. It makes an ideal focal point for anyone who loves the art of Greece and Rome.

In mythology, Aphrodite (Venus to the Romans) is the goddess of love, beauty, and harmonious attraction. Placing an Aphrodite garden statue among flowers, pools, or paving stones continues a long tradition. Ancient households once honored her in courtyards and sacred groves. Today, this figure can stand near a fountain, terrace, or path, suggesting romance, hospitality, and refined taste.

This lifesize classical Greek garden sculpture is crafted from fiberglass resin. The material is strong yet lighter than carved stone, making installation more manageable. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use when placed on a stable surface. The finish shown is antique grey, which mimics weathered marble and picks up light on the folds of the drapery. Other finishes are available so you can match surrounding stonework or architectural trim.

The Venus of Arles sculpture stands approximately 80 inches high, with a base that measures about 38 inches wide and 20 inches deep. At roughly 125 pounds, the figure feels substantial without being impossible to move with proper help. This scale allows the sculpture to hold its own in open air settings. It will not disappear beside tall hedges, pergolas, or architectural columns.

Homeowners often use a lifesize goddess statue as the visual anchor of a garden axis. Place this piece at the end of a path, centered in a niche, or beside a reflecting pool. The figure also looks striking framed by clipped shrubs or between two urns. Indoors, the Venus of Arles replica can transform a double-height foyer or gallery-like hallway into a private museum space.

The Louvre Venus replica recalls the environment of ancient villas, where marble figures stood among colonnades and water features. This sculpture pairs beautifully with other pieces from our Greek and Roman collection. You can also combine it with pedestal busts and pedestal bases from our statues selection to build a complete classical scene.

Many visitors know Venus through other famous works, such as the Venus de Milo or the Capitoline Venus. The Venus of Arles goddess statue belongs to the same family of images, yet has its own personality. Her stance is slightly more frontal and reserved, with drapery arranged in strong vertical folds. Displaying this figure alongside prints or books of related statues turns your garden into a quiet lesson in art history.
