EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Roman art, showcasing a print of the "Discobolus of Castelporziano" sculpture. The image takes us back in time to the Imperial Period, specifically the 2nd century AD when this magnificent piece was created. The Discobolus, a copy of an original Greek artwork, is beautifully carved from marble and displayed at the National Roman Museum within Palazzo Massimo alle Terme in Rome. This particular angle focuses on its back, revealing intricate details that highlight both the skill and craftsmanship of Roman sculptors. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Alinari Fratelli during the early 20th century, we are transported into a world where ancient civilizations thrived. The bust stands proudly atop a pedestal while fragments of legs and arms surround it, reminding us that even after centuries have passed, remnants of human existence can still captivate our imagination. The nude figure depicted in this sculpture represents not only physical beauty but also athleticism as it portrays a discus thrower frozen in motion. It serves as a testament to Rome's admiration for sports and their appreciation for capturing movement through art. Through archeological discoveries like these, we gain insights into Europe's rich history and cultural heritage. This print allows us to appreciate how art has transcended time - from its creation during antiquity to being preserved within museum walls today. Alinari Fratelli's lens has immortalized this remarkable piece forevermore; his work preserving not just an image but also our connection with past civilizations. As we admire this photograph, let us reflect on how art continues to bridge gaps between generations while celebrating humanity's enduring creativity throughout ages gone by.
