Most famous ancient nude sculpture
The Cnidian Venus after Praxiteles
The Cnidian Aphrodite (or Venus) of Praxiteles is generally said to be the most famous statue
in the ancient
world. It has been dated to the fourth century B.C., and the work was seemingly known
throughout many of the
lands of antiquity. In the tenth century the work, having been taken to Constantinople by
Theodosius, was praised
by the Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus; and the statue, in original or copy, is mentioned
by Robert de Clari
in his account of the taking of Constantinople by the Crusaders.
