GRAND TOUR
Italy, 19th century
"The Discobolus" after Myron of Antiquity
Patinated bronze | unsigned | Italy, probably cast the last quarter of the 19th century
Item # 406UTP18P
A heavily patinated bronze model after Antiquity of the Greco Roman statue of The Discobolus believed to be completed by the sculptor Myron during 460-450 B.C, the original sculpture was lost but over the subsequent centuries many Roman copies have been found in both marble and bronze. One of the most famous examples is the Townley Discobolus which was acquired in 1794 by Charles Townley and was acquired as part of his entire collection by the British Museum in 1805.
The present cast is a fine reduction that features the finely cast nude figure with fine flowing form that was expertly chiseled and engraved to develop the details throughout, this then intentionally aged and oxidized chemically to create an intensely chaotic surface that feels like it was only just removed from an archeological dig. The patina ranges from coppery to nearly black with fine texture throughout. It was probably cast during the last quarter of the 19th century.
Measurements: 16 7/8" H x 6 5/8" W x 5 3/4" D
Condition Report:
A rough and chaotic surface with significant variation, largely intentional. Carefully cleaned in our in-house studio where it was then sealed in a new layer of wax. A very fine presentation.
