This print showcases an exquisite piece of ancient art: the Antique Roman marble copy of the lost Greek bronze by Myron, dating back to 450 B. C. Known as "The Discobolus" this stunning statue depicts a nude male figure in mid-throw, capturing the intensity and grace of a discus thrower in action. Crafted from marble with remarkable attention to detail, this artifact is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of both Greek and Roman artists.
