Nike of Samothrace, or Winged Victory, is a monumental sculpture excavated in 1863 on the island of Samothrace dating from the 190 B.C. This marble statue is one of the few surviving examples of original Hellenistic sculptures and has been on display at the Louvre, Paris since 1884. The present example is one of many reproductions created after this well-known form.
