The Graceful Throw: Myron's Discobolus Nude Ancient Greek Bronze Sculpture Statue Figure - 13" x 7"

This bronze reproduction represents "The Discobolus of Myron," a renowned Greek sculpture crafted towards the end of the Severe period, around 460-450 BC. Although the original Greek bronze is lost to time, its essence endures through numerous Roman copies, including full-scale marble reproductions. The sculpture depicts a discus thrower poised to release his throw, capturing a moment that exemplifies rhythms, harmony, and balance—an enduring manifestation of athletic energy. The tightly-wound pose reflects potential energy, frozen in the moment just before the release, showcasing the evolution of Classical sculpture from the Archaic era. Crafted using the early lost-wax casting method and adorned with a brown patina finish for preservation, this sculpture rests on a black marble base bearing the signature of the artist Mayer.

This is a Mayer inspired bronze sculpture, bearing the artist signature.
