"Bathing Venus" is a bronze sculpture by the Italian Renaissance sculptor Giambologna. The sculpture, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts the Roman goddess Venus in a graceful and naturalistic pose. Venus is shown in the act of drying herself, her body captured in a dynamic, S-curve that was characteristic of Giambologna's style. The work is an excellent example of the Mannerist style, emphasizing elegance and ideal beauty over realism.
