Artist Bio:
Myron, Greek sculptor, lived in the 5th century b.c. He worked mainly in bronze and introduced a greater variety of pose into Greek sculpture: statues of athletes (Lada, Discobolo), of Gods and heroes (Eretteo, Perseo, Atena, Eracle, Apollo), of animals (Vacca). But with the certainty there are only three works executed by Myron: Discobolo (Discus-thrower) (pictured: Roman marble copy called Torso da Castel Porziano) (Rome, National Museum), Atena e Marsia, and Anadoumenos. The main characteristics of the art of Myron are movement, life and dynamic balance of the marble sculptures, making such an impression on a viewer that seems like his Discobolo will throw the discus in the next second.
Lost Wax Casting Process
The "Lost Wax" is the most precise metal casting technique in existence, ensuring accurate reproductions of the original sculpture and exquisite detail. All bronze pieces are cast from a wax model regardless of the original material the model was sculpted in usually in clay or wax. "Lost wax" casting method was founded thousands of years ago. Even though, modern methods and materials have improved the technique. It is still an extremely labor intensive and expensive process.
Condition: This bronze is in a very good condition and it is a great piece of art.
