Venus Victorious (French: Vénus victorieuse) or Venus Victrix is a c.1914 plaster sculpture of Venus by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, based on his image of the goddess in his painting The Judgement of Paris.
[1] It shows her holding the golden apple she has just won by being judged the most beautiful of three goddesses by Paris.
[2] Renoir had advanced arthritis by the time he produced the work and so was assisted by the Catalan artist Richard Guino, recommended to him by Aristide Maillol.
On 19 September 2013 it was auctioned again, this time by the Ukrainian Institute of America to the Carlos Slim Foundation, which passed it its current owners.
