About the Item
A small patinated bronze sculpture of the Discobolus of Myron, after the antique.
Dating to circa 1880, the statue depicts a male figure in a classic poised pose as if ready to throw his discus, much like the original.
In Neoclassical style, this French sculpture is of a small scale in a desirable bronze patina, showcasing the life like features of its subject and an exceptional sense of motion.
This sculpture is unmarked.
The Discobolus of Myron
Crafted by Greek sculptor Myron and dating to circa 460-450BC, the subject of the original sculpture was based off a Discobolus, or ‘Discus Thrower’.
Although now lost, it was known for displaying its head turned to look back at the discus rather than lowered like later versions.
Various Roman copies, particularly marble due to cost at the time, were acquired during the Grand Tour, but the most famous is the Palombara Discobolus, which now resides at the Palazzo Massimo, Rome.
