Was it a moment of carelessness ? Perhaps not. For the sake of taking a selfie only the visitor damaged the sculpture. Let’s leave aside the information where the visitor was from. Visitors ought not to do foolish things in museums and galleries at all. A decent behaviour either in galleries or museums is demanded from all visitors. The particular case of unintentionally harming the plaster cast of Venus Victrix happened in the Museo Canova in the town of Possagno in Italy. Venus Victrix is the gypsum model made by the great neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova from the town of Possagno. The cast was originally used as a model for the marble sculpture of Pauline Bonaparte. #sculpture #selfie #damage #visitor #museum #gallery #cast #plaster #canova #italy #gypsum #model #antoniocanova #bonaparte
