As a Greek statue Nike of Samothrace is known, represents the goddess of victory Nike and is now in the Louvre in Paris. She was found in the sanctuary of the Cabiri on the Greek island of Samothrace. The result is probably around 190 BC It is believed that Rhodian sculptors have created the statue.
The French vice-consul in the Ottoman Empire, Charles was Champoiseau, 1863, the fragments of the statue of Nike, which were composed on the spot and taken to Paris. An Austrian excavation in 1873 brought further fragments, including two fingers, to light. 1879 discovered the French base, the right palm was found 1950th The search for the head and arms remained unsuccessful.
The goddess is in a landing position, it is with open arms or wings, leaning slightly forward. The wings are thus filled with air and pushed backwards, like the thin fluttering robe, which only disappears directly on the body easily, as it is pressed against the abdomen. Your belly looks this way exposed. She shifted her weight slightly forward on the right leg, but is generally upright.
The statue was probably used as a victory monument, in gratitude for the victory over Antiochus III. of Syria. Therefore, it stands as a figurehead on the prow of a ship. The entire statue is 328 cm high, according to Philippe Bruneau, the figure itself is 245 cm tall.
The base is made of gray marble from the island of Rhodes, the statue itself in white Parian marble from the island of Paros. To visit the statue in the Louvre in Paris, there is just a reconstruction of the right hand side with the Vienna-born fingers. At Samothrace is in the museum in Palaeopolis issued a copy of full size, there is also found in 1950 palm.
The Nike of Samothrace symbolically conveys both the victory and peace. The statue had a great influence on the historicism of the late 19th Century. Many replicas of the statue emerged, such as the Victoria to the Berlin Victory Column.
