15" 'Winged Nike Victory' Sculpture
The 'Winged Nike Victory' sculpture is a masterful representation of the Greek goddess of triumph, measuring 15 inches tall and sculpted from a blend of marble dust and resin to evoke the appearance and texture of authentic marble. The piece is carefully signed 'A.Santini', denoting the work of the Italian artist renowned for his classical figures and meticulous attention to detail.
Nike, traditionally depicted as a winged figure, is shown here in a pose that suggests forward movement, her garments seemingly caught in a gust of wind—a testament to the original Hellenistic sculpture that has inspired this piece. The wings are artfully carved, with each individual feather standing out, imbuing the statue with a sense of ethereal lightness and motion.
