Sculpture Venus di Milo

The Venus di Milo (or Aphrodite of Melos) is a world famous, Greek, marble statue. It was probably made around 130 b.c. and it is thought that Alexandros of Antiochia was the sculptor. The sculptor used the white marble of Paros which was famous in ancient times. A farmer found the statue in a field on the Aegean island Melos (Italian: Milo) in the Cyclades.

These days, the statue can be seen in the Louvre in Paris. The Venus di Milo is seen as a symbol of eternal beauty.
