This fully-illustrated Valentine’s Day lecture presents aspects of Greek erotic representation by introducing the cult of Aphrodite and suggesting the ways in which the Cnidian Aphrodite by Praxiteles in the fourth century BC revolutionized the depiction of the goddess of love.

Dr Robert Steven Bianchi is currently chief curator of the Fondation Gandur pour l’Art/Genève. He has frequently lectured about and published several articles treating aspects of ancient erotica.

Desirable displays in the glass Conservatory, with couture by Spathose in partnership with local hair and makeup artists.
