Aphrodite of Cnidus
A marble sculpture by Praxiteles created around 350 BCE, celebrated as the first life-sized female nude in Greek art and one of the most copied statues of antiquity
The statue was so famous in antiquity that King Nicomedes of Bithynia offered to pay off the entire public debt of Cnidus in exchange for it
