Nike of Samothrace, also known as the “Winged Victory of Samothrace” is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of antiquity. The 2nd century BC statue of Greek Goddess Nike is celebrated for its dramatic and masterful display of movement and form. Many consider its lack of head and arms to add to its beauty. It certainly adds to its iconic appearance and its visual impact as it forces the viewer to use his or her imagination to complete the artwork. The Nike of Samothrace is one the Louvre’s most beloved treasures today.
