Venus de Milo Statue - Ancient Greek Sculpture Engraving #3707391 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed line engraving reproduces the renowned Venus de Milo, a 2nd-century BCE Greek marble statue discovered on Milos in 1820. The artwork captures the goddess Aphrodite’s contrapposto stance, subtle musculature, and flowing himation, rendered with precise cross-hatching to convey volume and texture. Though the original is housed in the Louvre, such engravings were vital for scholarly study and public dissemination before photography.

Used in educational, museum, and art history contexts-especially on pages discussing Hellenistic sculpture, classical aesthetics, or the Louvre’s collection. Matches user intent for visual reference, academic research, or cultural appreciation.
