Abstract

Ingarden visited Paris as often as circumstances allowed. Besides being attracted by the inspiring cultural qualities of the city itself, he was particularly drawn to the Louvre and its prominently displayed and world-famous statue called the Venus of Milo. This more than life-size marble statue of a female figure was found in the Mediterranean Sea in 1820 off the coast from the island of Milo or Melos, in the Aegean Sea south of Greece.
