EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back in time to Ancient Greece, specifically to a thrilling moment of sport: discus throwing. Created by the talented artist Heinrich Leutemann in 1866, this coloured engraving beautifully captures the essence of athleticism and competition that defined ancient Greek culture. Leutemann's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving, as he meticulously recreates the scene with historical accuracy. The man depicted here stands poised and focused, ready to release the discus with all his might. His muscular physique reflects the dedication and training required for such a demanding sport. The image transports us not only visually but also emotionally, allowing us to imagine ourselves amidst the cheering crowd as we witness this impressive display of strength and skill. It serves as a reminder that sports have always played an integral role in human history, transcending time and cultures. Stefano Bianchetti has expertly preserved this piece from antiquity, ensuring its longevity for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us – their stories intertwined with ours through shared experiences like athletics. Incorporating elements of both artistry and history, this engraving invites us into a world long past while simultaneously reminding us of our own enduring fascination with sportsmanship.
