Nike of Samathrace - one of the greatest Hellenistic sculptures. It is the symbol of winged victory portrayed in a stance of movement with air currents on the drapery of the figure. About 190 B.C. Marble, 8’ high. The Lourve, Paris

During the Roman period in art history, sculptors would popularize portrait sculptures of emperors and prominent citizens. About 100 A.D.
