Winged Victory of Samothrace ASCII Art
Marie-Lan Nguyen's side-view photograph of the ancient Winged Victory at the Louvre: a headless draped figure with one broad feathered wing visible against a pale wall
Winged Victory of Samothrace: trace the broad wing across the upper right, then the diagonal folds of the drapery. This side view shows one wing clearly, not a symmetrical front view. At 100 columns, feathers and narrow folds merge; compare Edge detection for their larger boundaries. Photograph: Marie-Lan Nguyen (Jastrow); ASCII conversion by this site.

- Wikimedia Commons photograph of a sculpture, not a faithful two-dimensional reproduction. Evidence link Evidence: Exact file record checked October 26, 2026 UTC. Downloaded unchanged: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Nike_of_Samothrake_Louvre_Ma2369_n4.jpg.
- File creator
- Sculpture: Unknown ancient Greek sculptor; ca. 190 BC. Photograph: Marie-Lan Nguyen (Jastrow), 2007. Evidence link Evidence: The exact Commons file record identifies the photograph and its author separately from the sculpture..
- License or terms
- Public-domain sculpture; the photograph was separately released into the public domain by its photographer. Evidence link Evidence: The Commons object record identifies Louvre Ma 2369, an ancient Parian-marble sculpture dated ca. 190 BC, found on Samothrace in 1863. The ancient underlying work is out of copyright independently of this 2007 photograph. The exact photo record contains the photographer's worldwide public-domain release, with an unconditional any-purpose permission fallback where a public-domain release is not legally possible. Credits are retained voluntarily. The photo release is not used as evidence for the underlying sculpture's status. No museum or photographer endorsement is implied..
- Preparation
- The bundled JPEG is the unchanged Commons original, including its existing framing and color adjustments. Sharp applies orientation and sRGB/Lanczos3 sampling for thumbnails and the 100-column Standard preview. The ASCII is a lossy conversion by this site, not a museum-supplied rendering; no image regions are reconstructed. Evidence: scripts/build-example-previews.cjs; exact source and sampled-raster SHA-256 hashes in lib/generated/example-previews.json.
Owner review: PENDING. The exact photograph release and separate underlying-work basis are documented for owner review; this does not clear unrelated photos, later sculptures or promotional uses implying endorsement.

Checking destination fit...
README and chat presets use printable ASCII. Unicode blocks and edge lines need matching font support; emoji can occupy different widths on another device. PNG keeps this browser's rendering, not another app's emoji style.
Sharing ASCII art in Telegram? Check monospace formatting and wrapping before sending. Ordinary chat formatting and Bot API HTML are different.
Edge detection
Edge Detection Only: 100 columns; rows = max(1, round(columns × source height / source width × 0.55)).
Edge Intensity: 1. Uses directional Unicode lines, not the selected character ramp.
Brightness 100%, contrast 100%, saturation 100%, hue 0, sepia 0%, inversion off. Dithering does not apply to this mode.
Open this recipe in the editor to keep this source, mode and settings. Browser resampling and fonts can differ from the built preview. Copy/TXT retain text; PNG uses black text on white at 12 px monospace, at least 1.2 line spacing and 20 px padding, independent of screen theme.
Character Optimization matches local glyph shapes in 4x8 cells at 8 px monospace. Compare texture with Standard; it is not a universal quality improvement, and your display font does not change the matching font.
Character Optimization
Character Optimization: 100 columns; rows = max(1, round(columns × source height / source width × 0.55)).
Character ramp: @%#*+=-:. (including a final space).
Brightness 100%, contrast 100%, saturation 100%, hue 0, sepia 0%, inversion off. Dithering: none.

Mosaic comparisons use 15 symbol columns, not the 100 columns of the character modes. The detailed recipe increases contrast to 150%; choose Coarse mosaic in the editor for the original five-column style.
Detailed emoji mosaic
Emoji Mosaic: sampling width 60, Emoji Size 4, squares set, transparent-cell symbol "⬜". Final columns = ceil(width / Emoji Size); rows depend on source aspect ratio.
Brightness 100%, contrast 150%, saturation 100%, hue 0, sepia 0%, inversion off. Dithering does not apply to this mode.
