      If there were only one piece of Hellenistic sculpture to survive, we would want it to be the great Winged Victory from Samothrace. Even in a still photo she is magnificent, but in Quick Time VR you can actually see the principles of Hellenistic composition at work. The shifting shadows of the dense drapery and the arching of the heavy wings imbues the figure with a movement and vigor which we find even more compelling in motion.
