Venus de Milo. In spite of
lacking attributes, the size and the attitude of this marble statue allow its
identification as a goddess: Aphrodite, often represented half nude, or Amphitrite,
goddess of the sea, venerated on the island of Melos. The style is characteristic of the
late Hellenistic period, which revives classical themes while innovating. Thus the
slipping drapery on the hips entails a closed stance and introduces an instancy to the
figure. It hides the joint between the two blocks of marble that were sculpted separately,
as were the left arm and leg, according to an utterly new technique.
Dated to the 2th century B.C.
