EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned sculpture known as "Apoxyomenos (the scraper)" a Hellenistic-Roman copy after the original statue by Lysippos of Sikyon. Created in the 4th century B. C. , this masterpiece can be found in the Pius-Clementine Museum, part of the Vatican Museums' impressive collection of Greek art. The full-length statue stands proudly on a black background, its naked form exuding strength and grace. The athlete's muscular physique is expertly captured in this studio shot, emphasizing his physical prowess and dedication to his craft. With an intense gaze looking away, he seems lost in thought or perhaps focused on perfecting his technique. Intriguingly, this particular copy features a fig leaf held by Apoxyomenos himself, adding an interesting layer to its interpretation. This vertical sculpture serves as a testament to ancient Greece and Rome's appreciation for human representation through art. As an archaeological artifact, it holds immense historical value and offers us a glimpse into the artistic achievements of past civilizations. While devoid of people within its frame, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity and precision. With Universal Images Group (UIG) capturing this image with their expertise, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with art throughout time.
