Female Sculptures

Throughout the history representations of the female body has been repeated ever since the very start.

Already in prehistory female sculptures as well as wall paintings of women were made. The Venus of Willendorf or the Venus of Lespugue, are some of the best known examples of the female sculptures, representing the fertile feminine body.


Throughout the history, at different times and in numerous styles, women have been represented in sculptures, showing different approaches; religious, fertility, sexual, beauty, or a simply of exaltation of the feminine.

In Asia many female sculptures, like the goddess Shiva, were created. In ancient Greece one finds many goddesses representing different forms of divinity. Some examples of this are: the goddess of war, goddess of the hunt etc. Later in the Roman Empire, different divinities were also copied or created that were also women and also made into female sculptures, for instance the goddesses of justice, of the arts, etc.

One of the most famous female sculptures is the renown Venus de Milo. A sculpture that survived to our times without arms, but which is a very important representation of the woman's body. A work of art full of grace and movement.
