Additional details
A finely modeled patinated bronze reduction of the ancient Discobolus, depicting the idealized athlete poised to release the discus. The dynamic figure is supported by a naturalistically rendered tree trunk and raised on a circular marble base. Created for the Grand Tour market, the sculpture reflects the 19th-century fascination with the art and mythology of classical antiquity.
