The Venus de Milo is a marble statue of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, created by an unknown sculptor in the Hellenistic period around 110 BC. It is a prime example of Greek classical sculpture, showcasing a realistic representation of the female form with a natural, yet idealized, pose. Famous for its missing arms, the statue's composition and the subtle drapery of the garment around her hips create a sense of movement and grace. Although the exact original location is uncertain, it's known to have been discovered on the Greek island of Milos in 1820. The Venus de Milo is one of the most celebrated and iconic works of art in the world, currently residing in the Louvre Museum.
