copy of Venus Callipyge Francis Barrois (1686) A
Venus callipyge ('beautiful buttocks') raises his coat to contemplate his buttocks. The original statue, representing a nude Venus, a copy of an ancient Roman statue, is performed by François Barois in 1686. Under Louis XV (1715-1774) is added a coat covering the buttocks of the callipyge and a copy of the Venus dress is made and presented to the public in a pond in the Tuileries Gardens in 1747. A seagull landed on the left arm of Venus. Many gulls leave the shores and wintering in Paris where they are found along the Seine or near bodies of water in the parks.
