The Discobolus of Myron, 1908 - A Timeless Masterpiece
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the renowned sculpture known as "The Discobolus of Myron". Created in 1908 by an unknown artist, this composite reconstruction pays homage to the original ancient Greek masterpiece. Professor Giulio Emanuele Rizzo meticulously crafted this plaster replica using elements from various other discus thrower sculptures. The head was borrowed from the Massimi Discobolus in Rome's National Roman Museum, while the right arm came from a sculpture housed in Florence's Casa Buonarotti. To complete his creation, Rizzo incorporated feet from the Townley Discobolus displayed at London's British Museum. The inspiration for these replicas stems from the Lancellotti Discobolus or Discobolus Palombara, discovered back in 1781. This Roman copy dates back to the first century AD and is believed to be a faithful reproduction of Myron's original bronze work created during Greece's fifth century BC. Capturing both strength and grace, this photograph transports us back through time to witness a moment frozen in stone—a sportsman caught mid-throw with his body fully exposed. The nude figure symbolizes not only athletic prowess but also celebrates human form and movement. Displayed within these frames lies an exquisite blend of artistry and history—an enduring testament to mankind's fascination with beauty and physical achievement. Whether you admire it for its artistic merit or appreciate it as a historical artifact, "The Discobolus of Myron" continues to captivate audiences even after centuries have passed.
