  • Lely's Venus (Aphrodite) in the British Museum, London. Here, the Godess Venus is surprised as she bathes, her water jar resting on her thigh. She crouches naked and attempts to cover herself with arms and hands. Naked Aphrodite was a popular subject with ancient Greek sculptors as she was with the Romans who called her Venus. This statue is a Roman copy of the Greek original, probably made in the 1st or 2nd century.

  • Tourists admire Aphrodite, otherwise known as the Venus de Milo in the Louvre art museum. The ancient Greek statue is one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture, created sometime between 130 and 100 BC. The Aphrodite (Greek goddess of love and beauty  and Venus to the Romans) is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm high. The arms and original plinth were lost following the discovery. From an inscription that was on its plinth, it is thought to be the work of Alexandros of Antioch; earlier, it was mistakenly attributed to the master sculptor Praxiteles.

  • Tourists admire the marble statue of Hermaphrodite at the Louvre, Paris. Hermaphroditus is  life size, reclining on a couch with a form that is partly derived from ancient portrayals of Venus and other female nudes and partly from contemporaneous feminised Hellenistic portrayals of Dionysus/Bacchus. It represents a subject that was much repeated in Hellenistic times and in ancient Rome, to judge from the number of versions that have chanced to survive. It derives its name from its best known examples, in marble, which were part of the Borghese collection. The Musée du Louvre is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, France, it has  100,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).
