About the Item

The bronze panel depicts a discus thrower, capturing a dynamic moment of athleticism. This is inspired by the ancient Greek statue "Discobolus" (Discus Thrower) by Myron, an iconic representation of athletic grace and form. The figure's body is bent forward, with one arm reaching back to hold the discus, while the other arm stretches forward, illustrating the balance and tension in the moment just before the throw. This posture emphasizes muscular definition and the natural movement of the body in action, typical of ancient Greek athletic sculptures. The artwork is a bas-relief where the figures are slightly raised from a flat background, giving the impression of depth without being fully three-dimensional. The panel contains an inscriptions indicating that the original panel was found by Queen Helen of Italy in Rome. The style reflects classical ideals of physical perfection and harmony, often associated with ancient Greek depictions of athletes. The texture and patina on the bronze panel dating it in the 50s
