The Birth of Aphrodite, a work by Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929), created in 1900 in marble, is housed in the Musée du Petit Palais, Paris (on deposit at the Musée Bourdelle). This sculpture was exhibited at the 1900 Universal Exposition and is representative of Antoine Bourdelle's Symbolist period. The work is executed in a style influenced by Rodin, where forms emerge from a mineral mass. At that time, Antoine Bourdelle was working in Rodin's studio. It appears that the model was Cléopâtre Sévastos, one of his Greek students who would later become his second wife.
