  • Sculpted torso thought to be Nefertiti, 1353–1336 BC, queen consort of Egypt and wife of Amenophis IV Akhenaten, 18th dynasty, 1543–1292 BC, New Kingdom sculpture in red quartzite from Tell el-Amarna, Egypt, from the Musee du Louvre, Paris, France. The style of the sculpture follows the rules imposed by Amenophis IV Akhenaten for artists working at his court, yet the treatment of the drapery over the female form is unusually sensual. Nefertiti was worshipped as a sun goddess and this statue would probably have been part of a double piece of the royal couple. Picture by Manuel Cohen

  • Statue of the Roman goddess Venus, known as Venus of the Cimini, dressed in a Roman toga but resembling a local Tuscian woman, standing on a conch shell in a niche, possibly a fountain, in the Garden of Bomarzo, also known as the Sacro Bosco or Sacred Grove, or the Parco dei Mostri or Park of the Monsters, a monumental Mannerist park complex, c. 1550, made by Pier Francesco Orsini, or Vicino, 1523–1585, Duke of Orsini, designed by Pirro Ligorio, 1512-83, with sculptures by Simone Moschino, 1533-1610, in Bomarzo, Viterbo, Lazio, Italy. The gardens are in a wood at the bottom of a valley beneath the Castle of Orsini, with many large sculptures, small buildings and inscribed poems. The layout of the garden is chaotic, in contrast with formal Renaissance gardens, and it has a surrealistic air. The garden was restored in the 1970s and is now a major tourist attraction.
