Day One | Antiquity | Art History Post Prompt
Aphrodite, otherwise known as the Crouching Venus, is Roman marble sculpture created during the Antonine period (second century AD). This piece in particular is a Roman copy of the Hellenistic original, created in 200 BC.
Among the many, many October prompt lists for artists, I thought it’d be fun to adapt one I found for Art History post purposes. I have found one from @avacairen (twitter) from 2018 but, hey, it works. Here we have Day 1: Antiquity.
