The Lancelotti Discobolous, discovered in 1871 on the Esquiline Hill in an area anciently occupied by villas and gardens and then entered into the collections of Palazzo Massimo-Lancellotti, during World War II was transferred to Germany and returned to Italy in 1948..S. Iyengar)

Copie of the 2nd c. CE from a bronze original of the fifth-century sculptor Myron, much celebrated by the ancient writers as a fundamental work for the study of the athletic figure in motion.

Executed in the Antonine Age, because of its lack of tridimensionality it is considered one of the closest replicas to the original, generally dated from about 450 BCE.

Preciosa la toma y su edición sobre fondo negro. La perfección del cuerpo humano plasmada bellamente como los griegos supieron hacer. Aunque sea una copia ésto no le quitia valor ni belleza, por supuesto.
