EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic sculpture "Discobolus" housed in the Vatican Museum, beautifully captured by Scottish photographer Robert Macpherson in the 1850s. The Discobolus, also known as the "Discus Thrower" is a renowned ancient Greek statue depicting an athlete mid-throw with his body perfectly poised and muscles tensed. Macpherson's albumen silver print brings out every intricate detail of this masterpiece, highlighting its timeless beauty. The composition of this photograph exudes a sense of tranquility and reverence, inviting viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship behind this ancient work. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its three-dimensional quality. Through his lens, Macpherson skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional intensity conveyed by this magnificent sculpture. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - an eternal tribute to human strength and athleticism. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and culture.
