The goddess of victory of Samos Serres, also known as “Niki of Samos Reis”, is one of the most emblematic statues in ancient Greece. The work was created around the 2nd century BC, and the sculptor is themed around the goddess of victory, “Nikki”, to commemorate the victory of the sea battle. Originally located in a temple on Samos Reyes in the northern Aegean Sea, the statue was used to worship the goddess of victory, symbolizing the coming of victory and glory.

The statue is carved out of marble, up to 2.75 meters high, and is known for its lifelike dynamics. Nikki's wings spread out as if she had just landed, her body slightly tilted forward, her robe clung tightly to her body, delicately outlining the beautiful figure of the goddess. THE SCULPTOR USES EXQUISITE SKILL TO VIGOROUSLY PAINT THE POSE OF THE FABRIC IN THE WIND, AS IF FEELING THE POWER OF THE PRINCESS'S ROBE BLOWING BY THE SEA WIND. Such detail demonstrates the ancient Greek artists' high mastery of human proportions and dynamics.

Unfortunately, the head and arms of the statue have been lost, but even so, the goddess of victory of Samos Reyes still shocks viewers with her strong posture and movement. This work conveys the ancient Greeks' passion for war victory and the awe of the gods and represents the pinnacle of ancient Greek sculpture.

Today, the statue is preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris, located at the top of the Daru Staircase, making it one of the most visited sculptures in the world. As visitors ascend the stairs, the first sight of the goddess of victory is the goddess of victory, whose majesty and elegance are unsurpassed. Whether it is her fluttering figure or her soaring robe, the triumphant goddess of Samos Reyes leads us back to the glorious times of ancient Greece and bears witness to the splendour of history.
