| Discobolos (The Discus Thrower) c. 450 B.C. by Myron in the Museo Nazionale Romano, Rome. One of the most famous classic Greek sculpture , Myron's athlete engaged in the discus throw boasts vigorous and convincing movement in a perfect made form. His flexing muscles and concentrated expression create the impression of a tightly stretched bow a moment before the string is released. While the original was cast in bronze, ours is cast in beautiful Italian bonded Carrara marble. Virtually identical in appearance to the original, each detail is finished with care by the artisan of Italy's Santini workshop. Mounted on a solid black marble base.
The Discus Thrower Discobolos by Myron (circa 460B.C.)
Myron chose a moment of rest between two periods of movement for a statue that combines implied action with classical formalism. It seems the perfect formula for the depiction of a beautiful; athletic body. It must have been as popular in ancient times as it is today if one is to judge by the number of copies that have come down to us; those in the National Museum in Rome and the Vatican being but two. The backward swing of the discus has reached its furthest point and the unwinding of the body has not commenced. As a consequence a poise is achieved; the utmost straining of the muscles is yet to come.
