Winged Victory of Samothrace:
The total height of the monument is 5.57 meters (18 ft, 3 in) including the socle; the statue alone measures 2.75 meters (9 ft). The sculpture is one of a small number of major Hellenistic statues surviving in the original, rather than Roman copies.
Winged Victory has been exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, at the top of the main staircase, since 1884. Greece is seeking the return of the sculpture.

It’s my favorite statue even though it’s missing its head.

Nike is an interesting Goddess. I feel like she could have been one of the Greek Goddesses to inspire Columbia along with Athena, Themis, and Libertas.
Speaking of Lady Columbia, here are some of my favorite classic posters of the Goddess of the New World.
To me Columbia isn't just a representation of America, she is a representation of American Women who despite having to fight sexism and oppression they have always been strong in their own way and always refused to stay quiet.

This painting is especially cool to me because it was a source of inspiration for Mary Shelly when she wrote Frankenstein.

Oooh I like that one too! The Nightmare by Henry Fusili. Very gothic and cool!
Here's another bit of Japanese artwork I like. An Onna-Musha (warrior woman) weilding a naginata by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
Also another one of my favorites. A long hanging scroll of the Shichifukujin (Seven Gods of Luck).
