Venus de Milo

This is one of the Louvre's most popular works of art.

 

It is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch. This is the Greek Aphrodite [or the Roman Venus]. She is supposed to depict love and beauty as a goddess.

 

The statue was found in the Cyclades on the island of Milos.
