Discobolo di Mirone | storia dell'arte in pillole

Art history in brief is a journey by Artesplorando. Here I'll talk about Myron's Discobolus ▼▼CONTINUE BELOW▼▼ The Discobolus is among the most admired works of antiquity. It was a bronze statue created during the classical period of Greece. The original is lost, but several Roman marble copies exist, like this one, although it is a smaller version of the original. Its sculptor, Myron, was born in Eleutherae, on the border between Attica and Boeotia. He lived in Athens for almost his entire career and was known for his portraits of athletes. He worked primarily in bronze, a more practical material than marble because it allows the artist to create dynamic poses and add subtle, lifelike details. Bronze sculptures are also lighter than marble and easier to transport, which is why the sculpture spread throughout the Mediterranean. The video is also subtitled in Italian, English, French, and Spanish.
