Famed as the most renowned masterpiece in Hellenistic art, this majestic marble sculpture created in the 2nd Century BC proudly showcases the Greek goddess Nike. Known also as the Nike of Samothrace, this breathtaking artwork is permanently displayed at the Louvre Museum, standing tall at an impressive height of 2.4 meters. What sets this sculpture apart is its incredibly detailed wings and intricately sculpted fabric; interestingly, it's precisely because the head and arms are missing that the sculpture remains so captivating.
