EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic "View of the Victory of Samothrace" in the Louvre museum, taken before 1902. The image showcases the awe-inspiring Hellenistic Greek statue from the 2nd century BC, made out of Parian marble. Standing proudly at the prow of a Rhodes type ship, this masterpiece exudes power and grace. The photograph highlights the intricate details of the sculpture's drapery, beautifully draped around its female form. Its wings spread wide, as if ready to take flight from its niche within the museum walls. Known as Nike or Winged Victory, this iconic figure represents triumph and victory.

It allows viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. Displayed against a backdrop that reflects early 20th-century aesthetics, this photograph is a testament to both artistry and photography itself.
