VENUS OF MILO.
Tho Famous Ancient Statue In ths

U no Famous Ancient STATUE IN Sne
Louvre at Paris.
The Venus of Milo in the Louvre.
Paris, is supposed by some to be the
work of AleXandros, one Of the Asiatic
Greek sculptors. 1t is said that the
base of the statue bearing the artists
name was destroyed for the purpose of
causing the king of France to believe
that the work was more ancient than
it really was.
1t was discovered on the island OF
Milo in 1920 by a peasant. 1t was in
a niche In a wall which had been
buried for years. The Marquis of Ri
we're bought it and gave it as present
to Louis XVIII. of France. 1t is made
from two blocks of marble Joined above
the drapery which envelops the legs.
AS it now stands it has two blemishes,
which have been repaired by modern
artists. The tip of the nose was bro.
ken when it was found and also the
foot which projects beyond the dra.
perry.
In point Of fact, it has a great deal
more resemblance to a goddess than
to beautiful woman. At one time II
was dressed in clothes Of a modern
sort. and the effect was anything but
pleasing. The figure of the statue is
not at all adapted to modern clothes.-
