#statue of nike

[lifeisbetterinmydreams]

i will never beat the accidental poetry of comparing the winged victory of samothrace (the nike statue) and the lament of icurus in my comparative study and being able to say the main difference is one is about victory and the other is about failure

I've been sick and really out of it, and felt possessed to print out some classic statues. I asked my partner for one to start with, and they chose Winged Victory of Samothrace

I love that museums and independent organizations just go around using high quality scanners to help make history more accessible, even in small ways like this. I'll likely never visit the Louvre, or Greece if they ever get it back, but I can print my own

THE WINGED VICTORY OF BRESCIA: Bronze statue found in 1826 at the Capitolium of Brixia site, Now - one of the symbols of Brescia preserved in the Capitolium museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitolium_of_Brixia 1 AD [H=195cm] "The … restoration of the 'Opificio delle Pietre Dure' [Ministry of Culture restoration institute based in Florence] has established that the statue was cast in the 1st c. AD in a local forge and is not an assembly of different statues but was created to be a 'Winged Victory'. The reference model is to be identified in Aphrodite Urania of the 'Cyrene type', i.e. with the goddess conceived in that specific variation of posture found in the statue of the same name from Cyrene. Other details, such as the twisting of the bust and the shape of the arms are also borrowed from Greek works of the 5th-6th c. BC. … the wings were added to transform the work into the goddess Victoria; in Rome and Constantinople there were similar works [Victory engraving a shield] in the Imperial forums." [txt ©BAP]

Why does the sculpture Rafayel's "restoring" in Ivory Nightfall looks like The Nike of Samothrace statue/Winged Victory sculpture? Yes, I'm obsessed with it and hope to see it in person one day. No, it's not because I found out that my name is the Spanish form of Victoria.

(Which brings up kind of a funny stor(ies) depending on how you look at it. Whenever they ask me for my name at drive-thru intercoms, they mishear my name as Victoria. Since allegedly my name is a different form of Victoria, I just roll with it🤷🏾‍♀️. I even remember as a kid some folks called me Tori instead of Toya🤔)

I think a lot about how much effort went into protecting the artwork in the Louvre from the Nazis such as the Mona Lisa and the Winged Statue of Nike. And how desperate the Israelis are to silence and hide Palestinian voices and artwork

Waiting patiently by the door for my new statues to arrive even though they’re estimated to be delivered on the 19th
