The Aphrodite of Milos, better known as the
Venus de Milo, is an ancient
Greek statue and one of the most famous works of ancient
Greek sculpture. It is believed to depict Aphrodite (called
Venus by the Romans),
the Greek goddess of love and beauty. The original is
a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm
(80 inches) high. Its arms and original plinth have
been lost. From an inscription on its now-lost plinth, it
is thought to be the work of Alexandros
of Antioch; it was earlier mistakenly attributed to the
master sculptor Praxiteles.
It is at present on display at the Louvre
Museum in Paris.
This is a resin statue based on the marble original.
