Venus or Galatea?

Continuing the images of the Haller Fountain and Terrace Steps Park, a plaque near the fountain explains why the statue is commonly referred to as Galatea rather than Venus.

I vote for Galatea. A sea Nymph for a sea-side town. Lovely patina on the dear lady. MB

Do they clean the statue? Most of the statues in Boston I have taken pictures of have bird droppings all over them.

Got to Galatea being coastal. Poor lass must be catching her death of cold,
