Winged Victory of Samothrace

After seeing Winged Victory in Frank Lloyd Wright's playroom yesterday, I thought I would look it up. I would go to France just to be able to stand at the foot of this statue. In the meantime, though, I have found museum web sites to be a great source of fascinating information. The Louvre has an incredible feature on their web site that teaches about the statue's drapery and pose and provenance, etc. Check it out here.
