Description
Museum of Louvre Timeless Tribute Winged Victory of Samothrace Inspired Bronze Sculpture - 19" x 10"
This bronze rendition captures the essence of the Winged Nike of Samothrace, an enduring and remarkably preserved masterpiece from ancient times. The original marble sculpture of Nike, also revered as the Winged Goddess of Victory, was unearthed on the island of Samothrace in 1863 by Charles Champoiseau, a French consul and passionate archaeology enthusiast. In the realm of Greek mythology, Nike personified triumph, whether on the battlefield or in competitive arenas, often appearing alongside prominent deities such as Zeus, Athena, and Ares. As the embodiment of victory, Nike would grace the victors with wreaths and sashes. Although the original sculpture has suffered significant damage, notably the loss of its head and outstretched arms, it remains an extraordinary relic from the Hellenistic era, dating back to the years 220-190 BCE. This authentic reproduction allows admirers of this renowned masterpiece and Greek mythology to revel in its splendor every day. Crafted using the meticulous lost-wax method and enriched with a rich brown patina finish, this divine figure stands eternally atop a sleek black marble base.
