Product information "Leochares: Statue 'Praying Ephebe' (reduction), cast version"
The Attic sculptor Leochares (375-310 BC), who helped to complete one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World at the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, realised the ideal of the god-like heroic Olympian with the 'Praying Ephebe'. In the sacred precinct of Diadumenos near Olympia, the splendour of the eternal fire fell on the youth crowning himself with the victor's armband. Raising his arms high above his head, he invokes the blessing of the immortals. Original: Bronze, Staatliche Museen Preußischer Kulturbesitz Berlin, Pergamonmuseum. Leochares, c. 320 BC Polymer ars mundi museum replica, cast by hand and patinated by hand. Reduction, height approx. 75 cm.
