Praxiteles' most famous statue was the Aphrodite of Knidos. This statue presented a fullscale female nude for the first time. Literary sources are lavish in their praise of the figure's beauty, and Pliny thought it the best statue in the world. He even suggested that Aphrodite herself must have helped in its creation, though others thought the statue represented Phryne, Praxiteles' mistress, it was copied again and again in Roman times, and many variations of the type developed. The statue also appeared on the coinage of Knidos. Why did it exercise the power it did? Was it just its surprising, and perhaps shocking, nudity? Aphrodite stands naked, caught in a fleeting pose, her left hand resting on the drapery thrown over the adjacent water jar, her right brought across in front in an intuitive defensive gesture. Like Hermes, she has long legs and a small head. Her right hip pushes out, and the S-curve rises slowly through her body. She has soft, wavy hair, and her face has a triangular forehead, shadowy eyes, a straight nose, and a small mouth. The marble original was made around 350 bce and stood in an open shrine visible from every side. Thus, the divine had become accessible, almost personal, captured in an intimate moment.
