Venus de Milo, Ancient Greek marble statue in Louvre Museum, France.
The marble sculpture stands 202 centimeters tall, depicting a female figure with missing arms and detailed drapery falling from her hips.
A Greek farmer and French naval officer discovered the statue in 1820 on Milos island, leading to its acquisition by the French ambassador.
The sculpture represents either Aphrodite or Amphitrite, with scholars debating its identity due to the absence of traditional identifying attributes in hands.
The statue occupies Room 345 of the Louvre Museum, where visitors can view it from multiple angles without protective barriers.
The statue combines two separate blocks of Parian marble, with evidence of metal jewelry attachments visible through remaining mounting holes.
