The Winged Victory of Samothrace at the Louvre (c. 200 BC)

The Winged Victory of Samothrace was discovered on the Greek island of Samothrace.

This is a very famous Greek original sculpture that was buried for centuries.

What a dynamic powerful pose. I saw this at the Louvre.

The Greek sculptor captured the goddess of victory landing on the prow of a war ship.



Incredible drapery and feathered wings.
