Aphrodite of Milos: better known as the Venus de Milo, is an ancient Greek statue & one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. Initially, it was attributed to the sculptor Praxiteles, however, from an inscription that was on its plinth, the statue is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch. Created sometime between 130 & 100 BC, the statue is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love & beauty (Venus to the Romans). It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life-size at 203 cm (6 ft 8 in) high. Part of an arm & the original plinth were lost following its discovery. It is currently on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The statue is named after the Greek island of Milos, where it was discovered. Material & Manufacture process: Cast Alabaster All of the copies of famous statues we produce made from a material in which natural crushed Greek Alabaster stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a glue. Αlabaster was very widely used for small sculpture for indoor use in the ancient world The construction of the statue begins with the creation of the mold. The mold is made by hand-crafted artisans & is an exact copy of the ancient statue. The prepared mixture of alabaster powder & resin is poured into the mold. The very fine dust of the alabaster allows us to make a copy with great precision in detail. The copy is then hand-crafted & perfected by our experienced craftsmen. The painting is then polished with indelible colors in white, museum patina or colored. The quality of the construction is of a high standard so that we have a perfect result that remains unchanged over time. A perfect copy of the prototype with an emphasis on detail that does not hurt from time. Aphrodite Of Milos Greek Art Statue Venus Goddess Love
