介绍（中）	这个姿势来源于被称为美第奇维纳斯的古代大理石（见猫176）。这尊著名雕像的复制品在Grand Tour的收藏家中很受欢迎，这尊青铜很可能是在19世纪初的罗马为这样一个市场铸造的，尽管它的尺寸比典型的纪念品大，这让人对它的预期功能产生了疑问。青铜是分段铸造的，在左前臂上可以看到修复。整体执行力中等，几乎无法区分特定的手或作坊，尽管在获得时，面部的个性化特征表明与"Zoffoli或Righetti类型"有关。1如果说有什么不同的话，那就是20世纪的肌肉组织具有抽象、光滑的品质 1961年，社交名媛兼慈善家April Axton承诺将这尊小雕像赠送给博物馆，但直到2001年才正式进入收藏。1953年，阿克斯顿在罗马坐在画家马西莫·卡皮格利的画像前。也许她在那次旅行中获得了金星 -JF 脚注。见一份礼物的报告，ESDA/of，2001年2月22日。
介绍（英）	The pose derives from the ancient marble known as the Venus de’ Medici (see cat. 176). Replicas of this famous statue were popular among Grand Tour collectors, and this bronze was likely cast for such a market in early nineteenth-century Rome, though the size, larger than the typical souvenir, raises questions about its intended function. The bronze was cast in sections, and a repair is visible on the left forearm. The overall execution is middling, with little to distinguish a specific hand or workshop, though at the time of acquisition the individualized character of the face suggested a connection to the “type of Zoffoli or Righetti.”1 If anything, there is an abstract, smooth quality to the musculature that anticipates the twentieth century. The statuette was promised to the museum by the socialite and philanthropist April Axton in 1961, though it did not officially enter the collection until 2001. Axton sat for a portrait by the painter Massimo Capigli in Rome in 1953. Perhaps she acquired the Venus during that trip. -JF Footnotes (For key to shortened references see bibliography in Allen, Italian Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes in The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
