In Greek mythology Helen was the daughter of the god Jupiter and was famed for her great beauty. She was married to Menelaus the King of Sparta. Whilst her husband was away, Helen was abducted by the Trojan prince Paris, to whom she was later married. So began a long war between the Greeks and Trojans. A number of other versions of this head are known, one of which is in the Palazzo Albrizzi in Venice. It was seen by the poet Lord Byron in 1812, who wrote: ‘In this beloved marble view Above the works and thoughts of Man, What nature could, but would not, do And beauty and Canova can!’   This object is part of "Scan The World".
