EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient Greek statue of a discus thrower frozen in action. The engraving, created by the German School in the 19th century, beautifully captures the grace and power of this athletic event. The statue depicts a muscular male figure with his body twisted back as he prepares to release the discus. Every sinew is meticulously carved, emphasizing both strength and agility. His focused expression reveals intense concentration as he readies himself for the throw. This artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in Jakob von Falke's book "Hellas und Rom" which explores the cultural history of classical antiquity. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with ancient Greece and its contributions to art, sports, and culture. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine ourselves witnessing this momentous sporting event firsthand. We can almost feel the tension building up within our own bodies as we anticipate the explosive release of energy that will propel the discus through space. Through this print, we are reminded not only of humanity's timeless pursuit of physical excellence but also of our connection to past civilizations whose achievements continue to inspire us today.
