Bronze dimensions with marble base: height 18" x width 13". Marble dimensions: 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Featuring a remarkable bronze reproduction of the famous masterpiece, "The Winged Victory of Samothrace," also known as Nike of Samothrace. This extraordinary sculpture, originally carved in marble in the 2nd century BC, depicts the Greek goddess Nike, symbolizing victory. Since 1884, this iconic work has graced the halls of the Louvre, captivating visitors and earning its place among the most famous sculptures in the world. Discovered in 1863, it is estimated to have been created around 190 BC, serving as both a tribute to the goddess Nike and a commemoration of a significant naval battle. The sculpture exudes an aura of action and triumph, capturing the essence of the Greek concept of ideal beauty through its meticulously designed drapery, which flows and undulates gracefully, evoking a sense of movement amid stillness.

Originally part of the temple complex of Samothrace dedicated to the Great Gods, Megalon Theon, it stood atop a rostral pedestal made of gray marble symbolizing the bow of a ship, likely a trireme, representing Nike's descent from the sky to the triumphant fleet. While the arms of the sculpture have unfortunately been lost to time and never recovered, its original pose featured Nike's right arm raised, cupping around her mouth, preparing to deliver a triumphant cry of victory. This work stands out for its masterful representation of the convergence of dynamic movement and sudden stillness, its graceful balance, and the exquisite rendering of the figure's drapery, capturing the essence of a strong sea breeze. Our exceptional bronze reproduction of this renowned sculpture has been crafted using the revered "lost wax method," ensuring a faithful interpretation of the original masterpiece.

Adorned with a captivating brown patina, this sculpture exudes elegance and timeless beauty. It bears the signature of the talented artist Rafael, whose mastery brings this remarkable work of art to life.
