| This is my absolute dead fave piece of sculpture in the world: The Nike of Samothrace, aka Winged Victory. I fell in love with her the very first time I walked into the Louvre—almost (ahem) 50 years ago. But she's even older than I am; it's estimated that she was created about 2,200 (and 1) years ago!
