About this model
This is a model of the Winged Victory (Nike of Samothrace) with her prow pedestal. The statue of Nike was integral to counter-balancing the unsupported outward thrust of the prow. Without her, the prow would collapse. Thus, the entire monument is an engineering feat coupled with artistic mastery. The monument depicts the moment that Nike, the goddess of victory, alights on the prow. Her right foot has just landed on the toes while the rest of her is still airborne. The drapery swirling behind her disguised the bulk of the figure resting on the central block inside the prow. Her right hand was raised in a gesture of greeting. What her left arm and hand were doing is unknown as nothing of the left shoulder survived. What we see today is a reconstruction based on the best guess of restorers…
