The Townley Venus is a 2.14 m (7 ft) high 1st or 2nd century AD Roman sculpture in Proconnesian marble of the goddess Venus, from the collection of Charles Towneley. It was bought by him from the dealer Gavin Hamilton, who excavated it at Ostia in 1775. He shipped it to England in two pieces (it was already in these pieces when found) to get it past the Papal antiquaries' customs checks.

  • La Vénus de Townley est une sculpture romaine en marbre, de 2,14 m de hauteur, du Ier ou du IIe siècle, représentant la déesse Vénus. Elle faisait partie de la collection de Charles Townley. Il l'avait achetée à Gavin Hamilton, qui l'avait exhumée lui-même à Ostie en 1775. Pour passer la douane papale de l'époque il l'expédia en deux parties en Angleterre. Elle est exposée au British Museum à Londres, mais il lui arrive de voyager, comme en 2007 pour l'exposition Praxitèle du Louvre. (fr)

  • The Townley Venus is a 2.14 m (7 ft) high 1st or 2nd century AD Roman sculpture in Proconnesian marble of the goddess Venus, from the collection of Charles Towneley. It was bought by him from the dealer Gavin Hamilton, who excavated it at Ostia in 1775. He shipped it to England in two pieces (it was already in these pieces when found) to get it past the Papal antiquaries' customs checks. Adapted from a lost Greek original of the 4th century BC, the goddess is half-draped, with her torso nude. The arms were restored in the 18th century and the statue was set in another plinth, thereby changing the original pose and viewpoint. If the restoration is correct, her arms are in a pose reminiscent of the Venus of Capua or Venus de Milo, and like them she may have held a mirror. It was sold to the British Museum in 1805 as Registration Number 1805,0703.15 and Sculpture 1574, and is usually on display in Room 84, although it went on tour to the 2007 Praxiteles exhibition at the Louvre. The statue was damaged in December 2015 when a waiter working in the museum accidentally hit the right hand which knocked off the thumb but it has since been restored. (en)

Townley a despachou para a Inglaterra em duas partes (já estava partida quando foi encontrada) para que passasse pelos controles alfandegários dos antiquários papais. Adaptada de um original grego perdido do século IV a.C., a deusa está parcialmente vestida, com o torso nu. Os braços foram restaurados no século XVIII e a estátua foi colocada noutro pedestal, mudando assim a pose e o ponto de vista originais. Se a restauração estiver correta, os seus braços estão em uma pose que lembra a ou Vénus de Milo, e como elas pode ter segurado um espelho. Foi vendida ao Museu Britânico em 1805 com o Número de Registo 1805.0703.15 e Escultura 1574, e geralmente está em exibição na Sala 84, embora tenha ido para a exposição Praxiteles 2007 no Louvre. A estátua foi danificada em dezembro de 2015, quando um funcionário que trabalhava no museu bateu acidentalmente na mão direita, quebrando o polegar, mas desde então foi restaurada. (pt)
