Venus de Milo
Between 150 and 125 BC

One of the mostfamousexamples of ancient Greek sculpture, theVenus de Milois immediately recognizable by its missing arms.Shrouded in mystery, no one knows why her arms are missing.

Thought to have been created sometime between 130 BC and 100 AD, it is popularly believed to represent Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, known as Venus in Roman mythology.

Discovered on the island ofMilos, Greece in 1820, theVenus de Milowas presented to King Louis XVIII of France, who later offered it to the Louvre Museumin Paris.Made ofParian marble, the statue measures an impressive 6 feet 8inches (204cm) tall and is a centrepiece of the Louvres collection.

Her missing arms might lend a clue to her real identity, but long lost, the debate continues. Is she Aphrodite/Venus, or perhaps the sea goddess Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon? The mystery only heightens her enigmatic appeal: indelible beauty found in imperfection.
