Excerpt from The Venus Di Milo, Its History and Its Art The restoration of the Venus di Milo, which had so long defied the efforts of artists, (it having been frequently attempted both in Italy, France, and England, ) was finally accomplished by Frank Paloma, a rising young American painter now residing in London. This artist was born in Washington, 1868, studied in the Ecole Julien of Paris - among others, under the celebrated Bougereau and perfected his artistic education in the great salons of Germany, Bavaria. And Hol land. 'l'he design which embellishes the present brochure was drawn especially for the cambridge encyclopedia Co. The artist, in a letter to the publishers, expresses some surprise that the true pose of the Venus was not discovered at once, because the muscles of the right arm, the raising of the left side of the body, and the posture of the left knee, all combine to prove that the Venus must have sustained a heavy weight upon her left arm. The weight could have been none other than the Holy Child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
