338 THE PORTRAIT GALLERY 
THE WINGED VICTORY 
143. The statue of “The Victory of Samothrace” or “Winged 
Victory” as it is popularly called, was executed by DEMETRIUS 
PoLIoRceETES, after the naval battle of Salamis in Cyprus, 306 
B. C., to commemorate the Greek victory over the fleet of 
Protemy of Egypt. It was set up in 305 B. C., and rediscovered 
in the Island by French archaeologists working there in 1863. 
It is now on exhibit in the Louvre. The suggestion of pride 
and action in the pose of the body, particularly the limbs, has 
never been equalled by subsequent sculptors. The artistry of 
that part of the statue remaining has excited endless apprecia- 
tion from critics and sculptors in general, since all attempts at 
restoration of the lost portions have proved to be entirely incon- 
gruous. 
FYVIE BARON 
144. Fyvie Baron 17608 was international grand champion 
Clydesdale stallion in 1913. He was a first prize winner in the 
aged stallions at the Highland and Agricultural Show the same 
year, having been imported by GraHam Bros., Claremount, Onta- 
rio. He shared premier honors with Golden Knight as head of 
the large stud of ConyncHam Bros., Wilkesbarre, Pa. Fyvie 
Baron was foaled March 8, 1907. His sire was the world 
renowned Baron’s Pride (9122) and his dam was Lady Ida 
(15438). Fyvie Baron draws strongly on the Darnley founda- 
tion, tracing three times to him and once to Prince of Wales 
through Lady Ida, in addition to tracing through Baron’s Pride. 
Fyvie Baron also traces twice to Sir Everard, the latter being 
his grandsire, through Baron’s Pride, and his great grandsire 
in the female line through Lady Ida and her dam Lady Maud.
