This is a composition featuring the Wissant and Crouching Venus from Rodin. Early in his career, Rodin worked in a number of decorative art studios, producing objects for serial production. He learnt how to get the most out of a single model, casting multiple copies and reworking each one. He applied these lessons to his own studio work. He dismantled and reassembled existing sculptures in endless combinations. By casting different parts of figures separately, he could alter the overall composition without having to remake the whole sculpture. Each fragment could exist both individually and as part of a greater whole. The Head of a Slavic Woman, for example, found its way into many other sculptures, taking on new meaning and significance each time it was used. The same figure could be repurposed in different orientations. Arched Female Nude was flipped and rotated into various positions by Rodin. With each turn, the physicality of the body was altered, from propelling forward to falling downwards.

This sculpture depicts Mahisha, the Hindu buffalo demon. He takes many shapes to fight Goddess Durga, who is the defeater of demons and carries the powers of the Great Gods (Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh). As she severed the head of his buffalo disguise, Mahisha emerges in human form and is defeated by the Goddess.  You can find a statue of Goddess Durga here: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-69851

This high relief represents a Giant fallen in battle with the naked body, well defined in the anatomical structure, lying on his back on an irregular oval base. It is originally part of a group of four statues (statue of the dying Gaul, statue of dead Giant, statue of dying Persian, statue of fallen Amazon). They were placed in the Baths of Agrippa in Rome in order to celebrate the victories that Agrippa had gained over the Galatians in 37 BC. The statues, discovered in 1514, belonged to the Medici Orsini family and to Margaret of Austria; then they were acquired by the Farnese family.The basic theme regards four battles, two mythical ones (Gigantomachy and Amazonomachy) and two historical ones (the battle of Marathon between the Persians and the Athenians and the battle between the Attalids and the Galatians).   This object is part of Scan The World. Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free. Scan the World is an open source, community effort, if you have interesting items around you and would like to contribute, email stw@myminifactory.com to find out how you can help.

This statue is part of a set of 7 characters in a scene entitled the Mourning of the dead Christ made by Niccolò dell'Arca in the end of the 15th century and kept in Bologna in the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Vita.  This unknown masterpiece strikes the spectator with both its realism and expressionism – perhaps the realism of the expressionist aspect of grief and despair. It seems that the intensity of grief goes crescendo from left to right: here, Mary of Clopas, situated on the right of the group has an intense expression of sorrow. Her arched body and her hands give the impression that she wants to push away the image of the dead Christ, whereas her mouth echoes a loud scream. The overall impression is all the more emphasized by her draped clothing and her veil, flying behind her, giving more intensity to each one of her gestures.  Mary of Clopas is explicitly mentioned in the Bible as one of the women present at the Crucifixion of Jesus: Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary [the wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. (John 19:25)

This is a portrait of Socrates, the famous Ancient Greek philosopher. He comes from a collection of Philosophers in the Antike am Koenigsplatz in Munich.

This large hand sculpture was purchased by Antwerp and placed on the shopping street of Meir. Hands are a symbol of Antwerp, and can be found all over the city. The orignal statue, Écoute, by Henri di Miller, is slightly larger, and features a large head along with the hand. However, the head was not included in Antwerps copy.

This torso of a kore, carved from Parian marble, was found in Aegina. The statue was colossal in scale, the sleeved chiton preserves part of its incised decoration.

This portrait is a Roman copy from 1st century BC after the Greek original from 3rd century BC, and it probably shows Zenon of Kition, a philosopher who lived in that time.

The bas-relief is a type of sculpture that has less depth to the face and figures than they actually have when measured proportionately. This technique keeps natural shapes of the figures and allows the work to be seen from many angles without twisiting the figures themselves.  The bas-relief's at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris show scenes from the end of the Virgin Mary's life, when she ascended to heaven, was glorified by the angels and crowned the Queen of Heaven.  Notre-Dame is one of the most famous cathedrals in the world, is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and is especially regarded for its rib vault, flying buttress and enormous colourful rose windows.
