This is the most beautiful thing i've seen, its simple amazing i tried to get better pictures of it but google wasnt of much help.
my jaw dropped the first time I saw it, by far the most elegant thing i've seen, THIS and Hermes (google it your'll get his picture i think i have a crush on him now ) Hes long gone dead and all but getting back to Samothrace
This is another picture of the same thing
Just only amazing.
Apparently shes the Godess of vicotry, for all those people who dont know what NIke meant so far but had the shoes there you go am doing enlightment. :)
Ok so back back, she was landing on a ship's prow after a greek vicotry. The sculpture actually is trying to show that she is still airborne and figting against the wind to land. her wet wet clothes are pushing the wind to land. Pretty big story behind it, I'm nuts about Greek art, entering gothic now, will keep you updates about how nuts am going.
Im in love with art history now.
