Marble statue of Eirene (the personification of peace) 10 - 70

The Marble Statue of Eirene, the personification of peace, is an ancient Greek sculpture created by the artist Kephisodotos sometime between 10 and 70 CE. Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, this iconic statue showcases the artist's mastery of marble carving and a deep understanding of Classical Greek ideals. Eirene is depicted as a young woman, draped in flowing robes that embody the serenity and tranquility she represents. The statue's naturalism, with its delicate rendering of drapery, showcases the artistic heights achieved during this period of Greek art.
