EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragmentary statue of the Discobolus of the Lancellotti type, sculpted by Myron in around 450 BC. The image captures the essence of ancient Greek art and athleticism, as it depicts a young male athlete frozen in motion while preparing to throw a discus. The sculpture, housed at the Museo Nazionale Romano in Rome, Italy, is an exquisite example of classical artistry. Despite its fragmented state, it still exudes power and grace through its gestural pose and muscular physique. The artist's attention to detail is evident even in this partial representation. The photograph itself is a testament to Stefano Baldini's skillful eye for capturing the beauty and significance of ancient artifacts. Through his lens, we are transported back to antiquity, where sportsmanship was revered and celebrated. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for the glory days of ancient Greece and Rome when athletic prowess was highly regarded. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these works continue to inspire awe and admiration. Baldini's photograph not only pays homage to this remarkable sculpture but also highlights its cultural importance within both Greek and Roman civilizations. It invites us to appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by these extraordinary artists from our past.
