About the Item
An aged statuary classical greek roman marble torso sculpture of an athlete, grand tour style central Italy early 20th century.
The nude body of the athlete standing on his right leg with the left one advanced in contrapposto position, the sculpture stand on an iron pin on a squared roman travertine basement.
An highly and detailed anatomical definition introduce the observer to a discovery of the classical canons of beauty, introduced into Greek and then Roman sculpture from the very beginning.
Prior to the introduction of contrapposto, the statues that dominated ancient Greece were the archaic kouros (male) and the kore (female). Contrapposto has been used since the dawn of classical western sculpture. According to the canon of the Classical Greek sculptor Polykleitos in the 4th century BCE, it is one of the most important characteristics of his figurative works and those of his successors, Lysippos, Skopas, etc. The Polykletian statues (Discophoros ("discus-bearer") and Doryphoros ("spear-bearer"), for example) are idealized athletic young men with the divine sense, and captured in contrapposto. In these works, the pelvis is no longer axial with the vertical statue as in the archaic style of earlier Greek sculpture before Kritios Boy.
