Venus Callipyge, Stone statue in Tuileries Garden, France
The Venus Callipyge statue presents a female figure looking over her shoulder, positioned near the rectangular south basin of the Tuileries Garden.
François Barois created this sculpture between 1683 and 1686, initially placing it at the Palais des Tuileries before its relocation to the current location.
The name Callipyge derives from Greek terminology, reflecting classical artistic influences in French sculpture during the reign of Louis XIV.
The statue remains accessible to the public throughout the year, with wheelchair access available through the designated pathways of the Tuileries Garden.
Jean Thierry modified the original marble statue by adding drapery in response to changing social attitudes toward nudity in late 17th-century France.
