Venus de Milo is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. Made between 130 and 100 BC, it is believed to represent Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty (Venus to the Romans). The original is a marble sculpture 203 cm high. The arms and the original plinth were lost after its discovery. From an inscription on its pedestal, the work is believed to be by Alexandros of Antioch.

The original is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The statue is named after the Greek island of Milos, where it was discovered.
