Meet Alexandros of Antioch, the Hellenistic sculptor who was nearly ghosted by art history. This wandering artist from the 2nd-1st century BC is the man behind the iconic Venus de Milo. He wasn't just a one-hit wonder with a chisel, though; inscriptions show he also won awards for singing and composing. Rumor has it that Alexandros was so multi-talented, he originally sculpted the Venus de Milo with a perfect set of arms holding a lyre, but a rival sculptor, insanely jealous of his musical abilities, broke them off in a fit of rage. Another whisper from the past suggests the Louvre "misplaced" the statue's original base, which credited Alexandros, because they preferred the more prestigious (and incorrect) attribution to the master Praxiteles. So, next time you admire Venus, give a nod to the multi-talented, possibly sabotaged, and definitely underrated Alexandros.
