In Venus Victrix (Canova), how is the The plaster original discussed?
The Museo Canova has the plaster cast of Venus Victrix, originally used as a model for the marble, in its gipsoteca, the museum's plaster cast gallery. During the first Battle of Monte Grappa in 1917, a Christmas-time bombing severed the head of the plaster and damaged parts of the hands, feet, and cloth. A 2004 restoration repaired this damage. In 2020, a tourist broke some of the toes as he sat on the plaster while posing for a selfie.
