EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Roman art, showcasing a hand holding a disk fragment from the iconic discus thrower sculpture. Created in marble and believed to be a Roman copy of the original Greek artwork by Myron, dating back to the mid-fifth century BC, this masterpiece is housed in the Museum of Ancient Sculpture Barraco in Rome. The photograph itself was taken around 1920-1930 and provides an exquisite glimpse into Europe's rich ancient civilization. The intricate details of the hand, with its perfectly sculpted fingers and veins, highlight the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating this remarkable piece. The disk fragment held delicately within the grasp of the hand adds depth and intrigue to the composition. It serves as a reminder of both human athleticism and artistic expression intertwined within one object. The discus thrower symbolizes strength, agility, and competition - all characteristics highly valued during ancient times. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to witness an era where sports played an integral role in society. The nude human body depicted here represents not only physical prowess but also celebrates beauty in its purest form. Alinari's expertise behind capturing such historical artifacts shines through once again with this stunning photograph. Through their lens, they have immortalized a moment frozen in time - preserving for future generations our fascination with ancient civilizations and their contributions to art history. In conclusion, Alinari's print encapsulates both beauty and significance as it showcases a fragmentary yet powerful representation of Roman art at its finest – forever reminding us of humanity's enduring connection to sport, culture, and creativity throughout history.
