• Venus was the ancestor of the Roman people through her son, Aeneas, who survived the fall of Troy and fled to Italy.
  
  Julius Caesar claimed her as his ancestor.The Romans adapted the myths and iconography of her Greek counterpart Aphrodite for Roman art and Latin literature. In the later classical tradition of the West, Venus became one of the most widely referenced deities of Greco-Roman mythology as the embodiment of love and sexuality.

  Additional Maintenance Information
  
  Our sculptures are built to last. However, like any object placed outdoors without cover, they are subject to natural wear over time—and sculptures are no exception. Since ancient times, sculptures have required ongoing maintenance and periodic restoration. In fact, Greek and Roman statues were regularly painted and sealed for protection.
  
  We recommend inspecting your sculpture visually at least once a year. To preserve its condition, apply a water-repellent sealant every two years at a minimum. For optimal protection, one coat per year is ideal.
  
  Several factors influence the durability of outdoor sculptures:
  – Is the sculpture exposed to constant garden watering or located away from irrigation systems?
  – Is the water acidic (either from sprinklers or rainfall)?
  – How severe are the freeze–thaw cycles in your region?
  
  Sculptures should always be placed on a solid base, avoiding direct contact with wet soil.
  
  In the worst case scenario, leaving a sculpture outdoors without proper sealing can lead to visible surface damage within 1–2 winters. This often leads to micro-cracking, which, if left untreated, can result in structural damage within 2-5 winters. While restoration is possible, it is far more costly than routine maintenance such as sealing and filling minor cracks.
  
  Basic maintenance helps preserve the sculpture’s original beauty for decades—but it’s also a matter of personal preference. Some owners enjoy the natural aging and weathering that gives outdoor sculptures a more antique, time-worn character. Whether you prefer a pristine look or a patina of age, the choice is yours—and either way, the presence of a sculpture will enrich your outdoor space for years to come.
