Victoria

4.0 · 1 rating

Victoria, by Richard Deutsch, draws inspiration from the ancient Greek Winged Victory of Samothrace, also known as Nike of Samothrace, a 2nd-century BCE marble honoring the goddess of victory. Such figures once marked seaports, city gates, and temples, welcoming visitors while symbolizing wellbeing, justice, triumph, strength, and peace. These civic ideals were embodied in the form of a winged female figure meant to inspire hope.
