About the Item

This early 20th-century bronze sculpture is a finely crafted reduction of The Discobolus by Myron, one of the most celebrated sculptures of classical antiquity. Measuring approximately 10 inches, it captures the dynamic energy and perfect balance of the original, with a rich, time-earned patina that enhances its classical appeal. The original Discobolus, sculpted by the ancient Greek artist Myron in the 5th century BCE, epitomizes the Greek pursuit of idealized human form and movement. Though the original bronze has been lost to history, Roman marble copies preserved its legacy, inspiring generations of sculptors. During the early 20th century, the fascination with neoclassicism and antiquity revival led to the production of high-quality bronze reductions of famous classical works. These pieces made museum-quality art more accessible to collectors, scholars, and those looking to evoke the grandeur of antiquity in their homes. With its timeless aesthetic and historical significance, this bronze Discobolus is a perfect addition to a library, study, or cabinet of curiosities, offering a tangible link to the artistic mastery of the ancient world.
