Vénus au dauphin, Marble sculpture in Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, France
The Vénus au Dauphin sculpture represents the Roman goddess Venus standing gracefully next to a dolphin, measuring 1.95 meters in height.
The marble statue dates back to the First Empire period of France, around 1800, when it was permanently placed in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
The representation combines Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, with a dolphin, reflecting traditional mythological associations with marine elements.
The sculpture stands near the Grand Basin of the garden, which remains open daily from dawn until dusk with varying schedules between 7:30 AM and 9:30 PM.
The dolphin in this particular representation differs from conventional depictions, displaying more fierce characteristics than typically seen in similar artworks.
