"A Sculptor's Model" (also known as "Venus Esquilina") is a painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, a distinguished 19th-century Dutch-born British painter known for his depictions of the luxury and decadence of the Roman Empire. This work, created in 1877, is a testament to Alma-Tadema's fascination with antiquity and his meticulous attention to detail in rendering historical settings.

The painting portrays a sculptor's studio in ancient Rome, where a sculptor is seen working on a statue of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The model for the statue, a living woman, reclines languidly in the foreground, embodying the idealized beauty that the sculptor aims to capture in marble. The scene is rich in texture and detail, showcasing Alma-Tadema's skill in depicting the varied surfaces of marble, bronze, flesh, and textiles.

"A Sculptor's Model" is notable for its historical accuracy, as Alma-Tadema was renowned for his extensive research and use of archaeological findings in his work. The painting reflects the artist's interest in the daily life of ancient Rome, rather than the more dramatic historical or mythological events often depicted by his contemporaries. The intimate setting and the interaction between the artist and his subject provide insight into the creative process and the role of the artist in society.

The work is part of Alma-Tadema's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the popularization of neoclassical subjects in Victorian art and influenced the visual language of later cinematic portrayals of ancient history. "A Sculptor's Model" is a prime example of Alma-Tadema's legacy in shaping the 19th-century artistic imagination regarding the classical past. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Alma-Tadema's impact on the period's aesthetic and cultural trends.
