For this art journal entry I have decided to select the Venus of Willendorf statue as my selected art piece. This 25,000 year old oolitic limestone statue even today remains a complete mystery to the historians who study it. Of particular interest is that oolitic Limestone is not local to the Krems area of Austria. The Venus received her name from the region in Austria where the small statue was excavated. What makes the statue so unique to art historians is the fact that it is the first of its kind to display such details.
