Nike of Samothrace – Winged Victory – exposed in Louvre Museum. Originally was sculpted on a monument overlooking the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, in Samothrace.
Up on a hill, overlooking the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, the grandiose statue of Nike of Samothrace originally stood on the marble bow of a sculpted warship, a monument that commemorated a naval victory. A reflecting pool created the illusion that the warship was sailing out of its rectangular base while a misting fountain simulated sea spray.
