ANTONIO CORRADINI. Adonis

Adonis. Artist: Antonio Corradini (Italian, Venice 1688-1752). Culture: Italian, Venice. Dimensions: Overall (Wt. confirmed): 21 × 56 × 21 in., 527lb. (53.3 × 142.2 × 53.3 cm, 239.0456kg). Date: ca. 1723-25.
When this sculpture was displayed in the Venetian palace of the Sagredo family, the subject was identified as the mythological huntsman Adonis, beloved of the goddess Venus. Its companion statue of Venus is now lost. Adonis's languid pose and highly polished flesh combine the innocently unaware and erotically tactile in a way that might charm a passing love goddess. However when Adonis is represented prone he should be dying of his wounds. Corradini seems to have used events from another myth--that of the sleeping youth Endymion whose beauty caused Diana to fall for him.

Título: Adonis
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Adonis. Artista: Antonio Corradini (italiano, Venecia 1688-1752). Cultura: italiano, Venecia. Dimensiones: Total (peso confirmado): 21 × 56 × 21 pulgadas, 527 libras (53,3 × 142,2 × 53,3 cm, 239,0456 kg). Fecha: ca. 1723-25. Cuando esta escultura se exhibió en el palacio veneciano de la familia Sagredo, el sujeto fue identificado como el cazador mitológico Adonis, amado por la diosa Venus. Su estatua compañera de Venus ahora está perdida. La pose lánguida de Adonis y la carne altamente pulida combinan la inocencia inconsciente y el erotismo táctil de una manera que podría encantar a una diosa del amor pasajera. Sin embargo, cuando Adonis está representado boca abajo, debería estar muriendo por sus heridas. Corradini parece haber utilizado acontecimientos de otro mito: el del joven dormido Endimión, cuya belleza hizo que Diana se enamorara de él.
