Winged Victory of Samothrace
This magnificent sculpture, dating back to the Hellenistic era, was created in honor of a battle won and a union sanctioned. It represents the daughter of titan Pallante and nymph Styx: #Nike the goddess symbol of war and sports victory for the Greeks.
☞ Do you know…
‣ The result of techniques and stylistic skills already refined in previous decades, Nike was the maximum representation of lightness #dynamism and three-dimensionality. It’s no coincidence that Filippo Tommaso #Marinetti made its fame popular from the twentieth century, taking it as a model for his Futurist Manifesto, recognizing its characteristics such as unique speed and movement until the arrival of the car
‣ Only between 2013 and 2014, to the invaluable work was granted a restoration, which cost around four million 💰, which allowed the #reconstruction of three feathers on the left wing and brought the marble back to its original color
