The additional studies on known and unknown works from the Collections of the National Archaeological Museum presented here by eminent scholars focus on the concept of victory and its various facets “in history, art and life”. The 16 essays of the edition address the various manifestations of the personified concept of Nike in ancient Greek art and present vividly in detail, in terse and highly expressive scientific language the multiple and diverse expressions of Nike. Known and unknown Nikai are presented: works of sculpture, coroplastic art, vase painting, metalworking, numismatics, minor arts. |
