Marble statue from the Roman Empire period, 'The Injured Amazon'
In Greek art, the Amazon is a mythical race of female warriors from Asia Minor, often depicted fighting against heroes such as Hercules, Achilles, and Theseus. This statue represents a refugee who escaped from battle, losing her weapon and bleeding from the wound beneath her right breast. Her shawl was untied on her shoulders, a waistband was tied around her waist, and a temporary reins were tied around her horse's back. Despite her predicament, there were no signs of pain or fatigue on her face. She gently leaned against a pillar on the left, with her right arm elegantly resting on her head, a gesture usually used to indicate sleep or death.
The marble statue of Venus de Milos from the ancient Roman Empire period
The Venus de Milos, also known as the Broken Arm Venus, was discovered on Milos Island in 1820 and immediately caused a sensation throughout Europe. It was contested by several countries, and the arms of the sculpture were unfortunately destroyed during the chaos. After many twists and turns, it was finally purchased by France as a birthday gift to King Louis XVIII of France, who then gave it to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. From then on, Venus became a broken arm goddess. However, the lost arms instead interpret a flawed beauty.
