Inspired by the Louvre and its Objets d'art collection, Harry Nuriev has been invited by the museum to imagine a collection of charms and objects in line with the Louvre Couture exhibition. His creations are combined with unusual, immersive images, fixed under a silver glaze, of his great settings.
With a sense of humor and a taste for the offbeat, the famous Victory of Samothrace is enchanted by a "silvering" effect that has become the artistic director's signature.
Mold made from a print of the original work exhibited at the Louvre.
Discovered at the end of the 19th century on the island of Samothrace, this sculpture was created to commemorate a maritime victory. The extraordinary virtuosity of the drape creates the power of the work and the illusion of the movement that animates it; Victory seems to land on the bow.
3D technology has been used to accurately reproduce this reduction and has made it possible to integrate the latest restorations made on the original.
