"Venus with Apple" is a celebrated neoclassical sculpture created by the Danish-Icelandic artist Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844), one of the most notable sculptors of the 19th century. This work, crafted in marble, exemplifies Thorvaldsen's mastery in capturing the grace and ideals of classical antiquity, reflecting the neoclassical movement's emphasis on harmony, clarity, and restrained emotion. The sculpture portrays Venus (Aphrodite in Greek mythology), the Roman goddess of love and beauty, in a moment of serene elegance, holding an apple in her hand. This apple is often interpreted as the one she was awarded in the Judgment of Paris, a mythological story that led to the Trojan War, symbolizing her status as the fairest of the goddesses.

Thorvaldsen's "Venus with Apple" is distinguished by its idealized form and smooth surfaces, characteristics that echo the classical Greek sculptural traditions that inspired the artist during his stay in Rome, where he lived and worked for most of his career. The sculpture's composition and the goddess's pose—standing with a slight S-curve, known as contrapposto—demonstrate Thorvaldsen's ability to infuse traditional themes with a sense of freshness and immediacy.

First unveiled in the early 19th century, "Venus with Apple" quickly gained acclaim and contributed significantly to Thorvaldsen's reputation. The work is part of a larger body of Thorvaldsen's sculptures that explore classical mythology, a common theme for artists of the neoclassical era, who sought to revive the aesthetic values of ancient Greece and Rome. Today, "Venus with Apple" is housed in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, which holds the most comprehensive collection of the artist's works. The sculpture not only serves as a testament to Thorvaldsen's skill and artistic legacy but also continues to be admired for its beauty and its embodiment of neoclassical ideals.
