🇫🇷 Inspectons les œuvres du musée avec #LouvreALaLoupe ! Aujourd’hui, intéressons-nous à la célèbre Vénus d’Arles, copie romaine d’un original grec perdu, actuellement prêtée au @musee.arlesantique dans le cadre de l’exposition « Le Passage de Vénus ».

Malgré les efforts déployés, on ne retrouva jamais les bras. Or, cet état lacunaire était inacceptable au 17e siècle, et on entreprit de rendre à l’antique mutilée sa splendeur passée.
