Marble dimensions: 5 1/2" X 5 1/2". Featuring a remarkable bronze reproduction of the famous masterpiece "Winged Victory of Samothrace", also known as Nike of Samothrace. This extraordinary sculpture, originally sculpted in marble in the 2nd century BC, represents the Greek goddess Nike, symbolizing Victory. Since 1884, this iconic work has adorned 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 both as a tribute to the goddess Nike and as a commemoration of a memorable naval battle.

The sculpture exudes an aura of action and triumph, capturing the essence of the Greek concept of ideal beauty through its meticulously crafted draperies, which flow and ripple gracefully, evoking a sense of movement amidst the calm. Originally part of the temple complex of Samothrace dedicated to the great gods, Megalon Theon, it stood atop a rostral marble pedestal symbolizing the bow of a ship, likely a trihemiolia, symbolizing Nike's descent from the sky to the triumphant fleet.

Although the sculpture's arms have unfortunately disappeared and have never been found, its original pose showed Nike's right arm raised, wrapped around her mouth, preparing to launch 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 was executed using the venerable "lost wax method", ensuring a faithful rendition 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 skill brings this remarkable work of art to life.
