22. The Winged Victory of Samothrace (Nike of Samothrace)
Around 200 BC

And now we come to one of the two most famous Ancient Greek sculpture of the whole world, one of the few surviving, original Hellenistic statues, not a Roman copy, (The other one being the Venus di Milo), the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace, Nike; Greek goddess of victory.
The Winged Victory of Samothrace
Nike Of Samothrace
Louvre Museum, Paris, Freance
This is my personal favourite ancient Greek statue, which I am lucky to have seen in the Louvre Museum, Paris, where it dominates the Daru staircase, standing in all its glory, on the prow of a ship, at the entrance to the first floor.
The sculptor is unknown, but it is thought that Pythokritos of Lindos may be the talented man.

The statue, made from grey Thasian (Thasos) marble and white Parian (Paros) Marble, standing 2.44 meters tall and proud, not only honours the goddess Nike, but also a sea battle, maybe the Battle of Salamis, or the Battle of Actium.

The Winged Victory of Samothrace was discovered on the Greek island of Samothrace, then under Ottoman rule, in 1863, by the French consul; amateur archaeologist, Charles Champoiseau, who sent the statue to Paris, where it stands since 1884 in the Louvre Museum.
A plaster replica stands in the museum at Samothrace, built on the spot where the original Winged Victory was discovered.

25. The Venus de Milo
Around 130-100 BC
The Venus de Milo

Now in the Louvre Museum, Paris, France
And here we are, the last of my chosen twenty five spectacular ancient Greek sculptures, it’s been a long haul, but what a one to finish with; the Venus de Milo
, maybe the most recognizable of all Greek statues!
The Venus de Milo, made from Parian (Paros) marble, standing 203 cm high, was discovered in 1820, inside a buried niche, in the ancient city of Milos, today the village of Tripiti, on the Aegean island of Milos, then under occupation of the Ottomans, by a Greek peasant, Georgos Kentrotas.

After agreeing to sell the statue to the French, Georgos became impatient when payment was not forthcoming and sold it to Nicholas Mourousi, a translator in Istanbul, a case of first come, first served.
Just as the statue was being put aboard a ship heading for Istanbul, the French Ambassador’s assistant, Hermes de Marcellus, arrived at the port in the nick of time, seized the statue, and managed to convince the chief inhabitant of the island to annul the sale, which he did, and the statue was presented to France as a gift.

When first, laid bare, it was thought the Venus di Milo was made by the Great Athenian sculptor, Praxiteles, but on the discovery of an inscription on the plinth, it turns out, this amazing work was done by a strolling minstrel and artist, Alexandros of Antioch, who worked for commission.
The statue is believed to be Aphrodite (Venus), goddess of love and beauty.

If you compare this last statue; the Venus de Milo, with the first on my list; the Lady of Auxerre, you will notice how the style has evolved, from the rigid, stiffness of the archaic period, to the fluid, free movement of the Hellenistic period.
Slowly but surely, through the classical period, the sculptures have become more life-like, they now have a certain finesse, their faces are no longer without expression, starring straight ahead, you notice that coy little smile or the side-ward glance of an eye.
Pure perfection was achieved with the advent of the Hellenistic period; the detail of the drapery on the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the turn of an ankle here, the crook of a finger there, and everywhere, soft, fluid movement.
What better example of this, than the Venus de Milo, with her air of aloofness, that twist of her waist, after this exceptional work of art, what?
Can the Venus de Milo ever be bettered?
I think not.
