Winged Nike Samothrace Louvre Paris Bronze Victory Statue Sculpture Art
Description:The context of theWinged Victory of Samothrace, discovered in 1863, is controversial, with proposals ranging from theBattle of Salamisin 306 BC to theBattle of Actiumin 31 BC as the event being celebrated. Datings based on stylistic evaluation have been equally variable, ranging across the same three centuries, but perhaps tending to an earlier date.For much of the 20th century, the prevailing theory, based on the works of Hermann Thiersch and Karl Lehmann, considered it aRhodianmonument dedicated following the victories atSideandCape Myonessosin 190 BC, and suggested that it might have been carved by the Rhodian sculptor Pythocritus.However, in recent years, the reconstructions of the monument proposed by Lehmann have been shown to be false (the remains of the surrounding space that housed theVictorybelong to the Roman period), and the question of why the statue was dedicated on Samothrace, which at the time was aMacedonianpossession, remains unanswered.It was created not only to honor the goddess, Nike, but also to honor a sea battle. It conveys a sense of action and triumph as well as portraying artful flowing drapery, as though the goddess were descending to alight upon the prow of a ship. Has a very nice patina look for this statue. The statue is sitting on a base. The Statue of Nike is one of the greatest surviving sculpture masterpieces of Hellenistic.
