Bernini Sculpture Louvre Sleeping Hermaphrodite Statue Replica

In Greek mythology, there is a true “hermaphrodite”. In the Louvre in France, there is a very famous sculpture-“The Sleeping Hermaphroditus”.

Seen from the back, this sculpture has smooth and delicate skin, concavo-convex lines, and looming breasts. This is definitely a girl! But when you move to the front, this is obviously a boy!

Pliny the Elder mentioned the original of this work in his “Natural History” written in 77 AD, saying that it was made of copper, while this one at the Louvre was a reprint. Even if it is a copy, it has a history of more than two thousand years.

This work is attractive, and another very important reason is that the cushion under Hemaphroditus’s body is ergonomically deflated: this pillow and cushion are not original, It was made by the Italian sculptor Bernini in 1620 with marble!

It was originally just lying on the cloth, but now it is set off by the exquisite pillows and cushions, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.

This is a replica of other marble Sleeping Hermaphrodite, isn’t it also very delicate? In short. Beautiful art always figured out, we love sculpture, custom sculpture. If you have your own sculpture design, please feel free to contact us.
