Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos)

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it. The largest of such objects are the eight planets, in order from the Sun: four terrestrial planets, named Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars; and four giant planets, including two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, and two ice giants, named Uranus and Neptune. The terrestrial planets have a definite surface and are mostly made of rock and metal. The gas giants are mostly made of hydrogen and helium, while the ice giants are mostly made of volatile substances such as water, ammonia, and methane. In some texts, these terrestrial and giant planets are called the inner Solar System and outer Solar System planets respectively.

Venus de Milo #StatuesTexturingChallenge [SMK]

The Louvre or the Louvre Museum is a national art museum in Paris, France. It is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district or ward) and home to some of the most canonical works of Western art, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built in the late 12th to 13th century under Philip II. Remnants of the Medieval Louvre fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to urban expansion, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function, and in 1546 Francis I converted it into the primary residence of the French Kings.

Venus de Willendorf

This is a 3D model of a Neoclassical statuette, which copies an ancient marble statue in the National Archaeological Museum (Naples). It displays a woman (the goddess Aphrodite? a mortal?) partially draped in her robes. This pose and subject is a statue type called the “Aphrodite Kallipygian” (Callipygian Venus). This modern name came from the Greek words *kallos* (beauty) + *pyge* (buttocks). The original Roman work dates from the 1st c. BCE. It was recovered in the 16th c. missing its head.

100.KZ.11 Aphrodite Kallipygos Statuette

Cast of female figurine in limestone from the Loess Station at Willendorf, Lower Austria. Dates to 23,000 BC or earlier.

These ‘Venus’ figures start to be carved by our modern ancestors over 30,000 years ago and may have been religious or fertility symbols.

Object in the Royal Pavilion & Museums' archaeological collections, digitised by the University of Brighton's Cultural Informatics team.

Accession number: R3411/56

Built in 1898 on [Foula](http://tinyurl.com/y6hgdtlb), one of the most remote islands in the Shetland archipelago, this traditional fishing vessel (known in the Shetland as a 'fourareen') was made from pieces of driftwood. 

The crofter who built "Venus" used boat building techniques that had been passed down from generation to genaration and were similar to those used by Vikings on their Longboats.
"Venus" would have been used by the crofter to catch fish and  collect flotsam and jetsam from the sea.

In 1964 it was bought by Paul Earling Johnstone who gave it a deck and tiny cabin and a Bermudan yawl rig, converting it into a yacht. He used it for long distance ocean sailing (including a single-handed trip across the Atlantic in 1965) and it remained in storage in Savannah until 1982, when it became part of the collections of the [Scottish Maritime Museum.](http://www.scottishmaritimemuseum.org/)

After Venus in furs from the Velvet Underground ([listen on youtube](https://youtu.be/AwzaifhSw2c)), here is a marine wooden version of Venus de Milo, burnt, washed by the sea, then repaired by a skilled craftsman !

Another WIP for [Sketchfab texturing challenge](https://goo.gl/6RDQUi), based on [Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos)](https://skfb.ly/VOvX) (274k tris) from the [SMK museum](https://sketchfab.com/smkmuseum)

The modeling is done with simple boolean operation in blender, using an intermediate object sculpted by hand to carve the holes.

The materials are, as usual, a mix of various PBR textures and simple Cycles nodes setups to mix in the zones of influence of the materials.

There are way too many triangles and textures on that model in my taste... I'll probably upload a replacement with a more optimized version soon as I am quite happy with the results.

Venus Verticordia White marble; c.1833-38 By John Gibson

Inscribed on the tortoise's shell: 'OPVS IOANNIS GIBSON ROMAE' Gibson recorded how the wealthy MP Joseph Neeld (1789 1856) had visited his studio in Rome several times before asking him to carve a 'Venus, nude, but with some drapery modestly arranged without sacrificing too much of the form'.

Inspired by Classical prototypes, Gibson showed the Roman goddess of love as an idealised female nude with elegant curves and soft modelling, holding the golden apple, awarded by Paris for her beauty. Although apples are often associated with carnal love, Gibson called his statue Venus Verticordia, or the turner of men's hearts and later recalled how he had

> 'endeavoured to give my Venus that spiritual elevation of character which results from purity and sweetness'.

Venus Verticordia

This is a 3D model of a post-antique marble statue by Bertel Thorvaldsen in The Royal Collection of Paintings and Sculptures at the Statens Museum for Kunst, in Copenhagen,  Denmark. The statue depicts Venus (Aphrodite), the Roman goddess of love, holding an apple. This apple represents the prize in the myth [The Judgment of Paris](www.theoi.com/Olympios/JudgementParis.html). The contrapposto figure looks down at the apple in her right hand. The left hand holds a cloth and rests upon a tree trunk.

This pack contains 3 .obj file with Sandro Botticelli's Nascita di Venere in futuristic neon style. You are able to import it into your Unreal Engine 4 project. You can change or play with colors as you like. Colours I used are in the pack too. You may use this pack for visual style in your project, museum of old-future art maybe? It's mere my attempt to bring new life to the old style. I'm no Botticelli though.

Birth Of Venus In Neon

My final entry for the statues texturing challenge organized by Sketchfab and SMK on the theme of gender representation in classical sculpture. 
Based on "[Venus de Milo (Aphrodite of Milos))](https://skfb.ly/VOvX)" by [SMK – National Gallery of Denmark](https://sketchfab.com/smkmuseum), licensed under CC Attribution”

**My interpretation**

I tried to infuse this model with the theme of the sea, thinking of this statue as an old ship figurehead.

Burnt and torn apart during fierce marine battles, it was then meticulously repaired by the ship's captain, who replaced the damaged parts with inclusions of aquamarine, and finalized his craft with seals of gold. 

I love to imagine the captain as a very masculine yet paradoxical man, a bearded giant letting his deepest emotions, hidden to its pairs, appear through his delicate work.

Textured in blender by cautiously mixing PBR textures, then baked to the unmodified challenge's model. Post-processing and lighting were kept simple to emphasize the texturing work.

A captain's pride

**Edit:** [My final challenge entry here!](https://skfb.ly/6ysKL)

And yet **another WIP** for Sketchfab Texturing Challenge, with simpler (so less convincing) but much more optimized materials and textures (2k only, hence a lack of details...) than on the [Aquamarine Venus](https://skfb.ly/6xY6Y).

Considering the challenge "philosophy" (representation of gender in classical sculpture), I am not 100% convinced by the naive burnt/amber/fire war figure vs. washed/aquamarine/water deity opposition, and these models don't really have a "classical sculpture" feel to them...

I guess I'll have to make a choice if I ever want to participate in the contest!

WIP - Amber / Aquamarine statues

Les coffres et les fauteuils sont les seuls meubles du Moyen Âge à nous être parvenus. Ils sont alors presque le seul meuble de rangement et de transport existant ; ils sont donc très grands. Ils peuvent servir de bancs et parfois de tables. Néanmoins, avec la sédentarisation des populations, le mobilier se diversifie et s'oriente vers des usages plus spécifiques.

Ce coffre-ci de style gothique a été fabriqué à l’aide de bois et de fer entre le 15e et le 16e siècle.

Coffre plat sculpté de style gothique

Full name: **Astronomical telescope with a Gregorian mirror system**

This type of telescope was first described in 1663 by James Gregory (1638-1675), a Scottish mathematician and astronomer, professor at the University of Edinburgh and St. Andrews University in Scotland. Inventor of the first reflecting telescope. He proposed a method of determining an astronomical unit based on observations of the transit of Venus in front of the disc of the Sun. 

This particular telescope was engineered by Jesse Ramsden (1735–1800), optician, maker of scientific instruments, mainly astronomical and navigational ones, Fellow of the Royal Society in London.
