This Venus de Milo is a reproduction in Carrara marble of the work attributed to Alexandros of Antioch, created around 130 BC and now displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The statue, missing its arms, captivates with the harmony of its proportions, the elegance of its drapery, and the sense of perfection it conveys.
It was found on the island of Milo, broken into two parts and missing its arms. Like many archaeological discoveries, it is named after the place where it was found.
