And chastely and safely, the
To the loins shining nudity,
Blooms divine body
Unfading beauty.

(A. FET)



In this sculpture delights all: and delicate facial features, and hair, and graceful carriage, and the neat folds of clothing. According to one legend, in the hands of Venus held up a shield, according to another Apple, and a third – she was ashamed to hold hanging clothes.
just Think, the standard of beauty, and no hands! Where is the lovely hand of the Goddess?

On the Islands of the Aegean sea, is widely distributed following legend. Famous in his time, the sculptor (researchers still do not know really who it is) been looking for a woman who could serve as a model to create the statue of Venus. And found, Milos lived extraordinarily beautiful girl. The sculptor went there, met her, and began to create a masterpiece... and fell in love without memory in your model.

Finally the statue was almost ready, remains the most difficult – hand. And then once again passion took her, the sculptor and his Muse rushed into each other"s arms, and the girl so much pressed her lover to her breast, he... gasped. As a result, the sculpture remained without hands – they are just there to produce.
of Course, this is just undeniably beautiful legend.

Milos Island


Vote tried to persuade the captain to sail to Istanbul to get permission to export, but the captain refused and Vote waved his hand at his discovery. But another naval officer, Jules Dumont-Дюрвиль, went to Istanbul and received permission. On his return he found the statue on a Russian ship, the captain of one Turkish official to pay, so he moved the statue in Istanbul. After heavy negotiations with the islanders Dumont-Дюрвиль all-таки made the purchase of the statue. Later the Turkish government, furious that such valuable away from them and ordered to put the most influential inhabitants of the island of Milos public flogging.

her Hands were lost after the discovery, in a moment of conflict between the French who wanted to take her to his country, and Turks, who sought to prevent the export of the statue from the Empire.

Initially, the statue was attributed to the classic period, some time the authorship was attributed to Praxiteles. But it turned out that the statue was brought and the pedestal on which it was written that Agesander (or Alexander, the inscription was illegible), son of menida, citizen of Antioch on the Meander made the statue. Thus, the statue belongs to the Hellenistic period. Subsequently, the pedestal is gone and so far not found.

the Statue was purchased in 1821 and is currently stored in a specially prepared for her gallery on the first floor of the Louvre.

Experts examined Venus and carried a terrible sentence: to restore the statue in the same way.


Venus de Milo, Musee du Louvre (Paris), room No. 74, ground floor galleries Sully.

a year she come to see 8.5 million people.

Newspapers were full of the most enthusiastic headlines:" the Greatest statue in the world!"," Fairest beauty!". Critics wondered: who is the author? The queue to the Louvre curled rings. However, the audience was not interested in who created the marble goddess, what was she holding in the missing hands? On the pages of Newspapers and magazines not damped the discussion. Some believed that Venus was a mirror, others have argued that the goddess of modesty maintained by the hands of the veil.

Where are the hands of Venus?

Officially, of the hands found in the land of Milos, the statue was not originally. The same Duiker mentions fragments of the left hand of Venus, one of which was a brush with a bone: this, incidentally, has given some researchers reason to say that Venus is depicted at the moment of the court of Paris. What a mysterious" marble fragments" were taken from Milos de rivières, unknown.

However, the less data, the more guesses. In the reconstruction of the goddess make a spinner, in her hands give her a mirror or next to the God of war Mars (or Ares, since it"s Ancient Greece), indicating that it could be steam sculpture. Some even believe that this is not Venus, and the goddess of victory Nika.

1872, the French Ambassador in Greece Jules ferry realized how to solve the puzzle. He went to the family of Centrotus. Father, of course, was no longer alive, but his son and nephew all lived in the same place." Do you remember Venus?" Ferry took from his pocket some gold. The old men nodded, glaring eyes in coins." She had hands?" Both the old man stared in bewilderment at the visitor:" of Course, master!"@- the" what was in her hands?" The old men grinned, revealing toothless mouths:" Apple, Mr.!".



the ferry Article in the scientific journal caused a sensation. Scholars of antiquity have sahali: as a simple answer no one came to mind? Of course, Venus holding the Apple, because it gave her of Paris, recognizing the fairest of all mortal women.

However, the public did not believe such a simple solution. The complex pose of Venus, its strange-гордый opinion, a strange turn and his shoulders, and torso – all this does not jibe with the fact that marble woman is holding the Apple. The twentieth century began with a new expedition in 1901 enthusiasts once again scoured the shore of Milos, where-то was Venus. But no lost hands is not found.

By mid-century began the sensation. First, in 1964, the Turkish Professor Ahmed Rasim said he knows where the lost arms of the goddess. But the current owners will return them only if the French transported the statue in Istanbul. Hearing this, the critics said that this is pure extortion.

Then the world has heard the news that the Louvre had received a secret message about" the greatest hands in the world" and has already begun to equip an expedition of archaeologists and art historians. However, a second message hasn"t arrived, but because the newspaper called it a publicity stunt. Well, later came and did an incredible news: a Brazilian millionaire purchased hand of Venus for 35 thousand dollars. Recall, it was 70-е years of the XX century, and the value of the dollar was much higher today). Without revealing his name, he sent accurate copies of the hands in the Louvre. The world stood and waited for a few more days. The verdict of scientists, was brief: these hands – whose else, but not Venus de Milo!

But the boom was not to appease. Here and there appeared miraculously found lady"s hands. Many" enthusiasts" themselves created them and rushed to the Louvre to try on. Of course, the Museum staff is not allowed, but sometimes under pressure from the public made strange pictures where beauty appeared one, then the other hand. However, such pictures caused a shock, Venus was losing all her beauty and charm. Moreover, it was monstrous!..

the Estimated position of the hands of the Venus de Milo




" why we want to" screw" the hands of Venus, to bring the beauty under our understanding? – he wrote after one such experiment, columnist for" Le Figaro". – Why do we rush to dismember harmony? Is it easier to live, knowing that the mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa – nothing like a nervous tick, showing that its owner just had epilepsy? And in fact according to some psychotherapists. Geniuses of the past centuries have taught us a wonderful lesson: the power of beauty – not the availability, and in the mysterious the secret you want to reveal, but not to be..."
