This sculpture of the Venus de Milo — Aphrodite of Melos, dating to the 2nd century BC. Discovered in 1820 on the Greek island of Milos, this ideal of feminine beauty dates to the Hellenistic age. The sculpture's feel fully embraces the soft, warm substance of the human body with brilliant artistic skill.

The classical elegance that has made the Venus statue one of the most widely used sculptures in decor today is beyond doubt. It's one of the most recognizable sculptural images in the world. Whether called Venus or her Greek name Aphrodite, she's the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility.

She represents the affection and attraction that unite people in marriage. It's said that her beauty caused the Trojan War, and that she was pursued by all the Gods. In Greek mythology, her son Eros is the God of love and sexual desire. Her Roman son, Cupid, is the messenger of love.
