This bronze replica captures the essence of the Winged Nike of Samothrace, a renowned masterpiece from antiquity and a symbol of victory in Greek mythology. The original marble statue was discovered on the island of Samothrace in 1863 by Charles Champoiseau, a French consul and amateur archaeologist. The Winged Nike of Samothrace is considered one of the most significant sculptures from the Hellenistic period, showcasing the skill of an unknown Rhodian sculptor between 220-190 BCE. In Greek mythology, Nike, the Winged Goddess of Victory, was associated with triumph in both war and contests. Depicted with wings and often seen standing alongside deities like Zeus, Athena, and Ares, Nike adorned winners with wreaths and sashes. Despite significant damage to the original statue, including the loss of its head and outstretched arms, this bronze replica faithfully captures the grace and beauty of the goddess. Crafted using the lost-wax method, a technique that preserves the original likeness, this archaic duplicate stands as a testament to the artistry and mythology of ancient Greece. The bronze sculpture, stained with a brown patina finish, immortalizes the goddess as she perpetually stands upon a black marble base. It offers enthusiasts of celebrated mastery and Greek mythology the opportunity to appreciate this iconic representation on a daily basis.

Outstanding!

The Winged Victory of Samothrace is an elegant piece of work; detailed, true to the original sitting in the Louvre, Paris. It is substantial in both weight and size, and the quality of workmanship and finishing is stunning. I bought this work a a present for my beloved brother and his wife, who are celebrating their 40 wedding anniversary this coming May; after having seen this piece, I have no doubt whatever that they will be left speechless, and breathless. In fact, I like it so well that I think I shall buy another for myself; I just simply can't bring myself to ship it off! Thank you so much Bronzehaus, your efforts most certainly do justice to one of the most famous sculptures in existence in the world today.

With Very Best Regards!
