Location: Parterre<\/p>\n
In the parterre that stretches in front of the cafeteria built in the days of Maximilian of Habsburg, there is a statue, cast in the nineteenth century by the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino, located on the side, depicting a female figure of remarkable grace, caught in the moment she is covering her nudity with a gesture of graceful modesty, as if she were surprised at the moment of bathing.<\/p>\n
It is a copy of the famous Venus Medicea at the Uffizi, which Maximilian had the opportunity to admire during a visit to Florence in 1851, as he enthusiastically wrote in his travel journal. These are the words of the young archduke: “The daughter of the waves, the goddess of beauty, stands before us with sweet, unconscious modesty, a creature born perfect.”<\/p>\n
The Venus of Miramare is placed on a column of considerable height, intended to give her prominence in a parterre designed by Maximilian to comprise tall trees as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
