Pauline Bonaparte as Venus Victrix

Pauline Bonaparte as Venus Victrix (Venus Victorious) is a semi-nude life-size reclining neo-Classical portrait sculpture by the Italian sculptor Antonio Canova. Reviving the ancient Roman artistic traditions of portrayals of mortal individuals in the guise of the gods, and of the beautiful female form reclining on a couch (as most often seen in reclining portrayals of Hermaphroditi), it was commissioned by Pauline Bonaparte's husband Camillo Borghese and executed in Rome from 1805 to 1808, after the subject's marriage into the Borghese family. It then moved to Camillo's house in Turin, then to Genoa, only arriving in its present home (the Galleria Borghese in Rome) around 1838.《扮作维纳斯胜利者的宝琳娜·波拿巴》（Pauline Bonaparte as Venus Victrix）是意大利雕塑家安东尼奥·卡诺瓦（Antonio Canova）创作的一尊等身大小的半裸斜卧新古典主义肖像雕塑。该作品复兴了古罗马艺术传统：以神祇形象塑造凡人个体，以及以斜卧榻上的优美女性躯体为表现主题——这一主题常见于斜卧造型的赫马佛洛狄忒斯（Hermaphroditi）肖像。它由宝琳娜·波拿巴的丈夫卡米洛·博尔盖塞（Camillo Borghese）委托创作，于1805年至1808年间在罗马完成，彼时宝琳娜已嫁入博尔盖塞家族。此后该作品先后被安置于卡米洛位于都灵的宅邸，随后迁至热那亚，最终于约1838年入藏其现址——罗马博尔盖塞美术馆（Galleria Borghese）。
