From the Tradition to detrius Aphrodite Statue


The image on the right picture an Ancient Greek sculpture of the Greek Goddess of love and beauty; Aphrodite. Many would agree that due to her characteristically beautiful soft features, such as: her well proportioned body, stereotypically beautiful long hair, symmetrical breasts and solemn facial expression she epitomises the ancient world's and our current society's perception of beauty. Another key characteristic of this sculpture which is considered 'beautiful' is the smooth texture of the marble sculpture.

As this statue depicts the Goddess of love and beauty, the artist/craftsman has intentionally created a statue which positively represents the human female form.
