Description
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. Created sometime between 130 and 100 BC, the statue is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty (Venus to the Romans). It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 6 ft 8 in high.
Part of an arm and the original plinth (the slab on which the statue rested) were lost following its discovery. From an inscription that was on its plinth, the statue is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch. It is currently on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The statue is named after the Greek island of Milos, where it was discovered.
