  19. Venus of Milo (marb.) ca. 150 B.C., Paris, Louvre The Venus De Milo is named for the island of Melos where it was recovered. This reflects Roman tastes as it has a classical style to it rather than Hellenistic. The Romans distained the emotional Hellenistic style and preferred to own copies of classical works or have Greek artists work in a classical fashion. What makes it Hellenistic is the innovation in posing. The wider contrapposto stance allows the clothing to widen and act as a support. It is believed that the right arm came across the torso and rested on the left hip clutching the skirt to her. The left shoulder socket is rotated up and forward indicating that the left arm was extended.
