Product information "Sculpture 'Fighting Athletes', reduction in art casting"
The agon, the athletic competition, was a passion of the Greeks. The wrestlers performed naked; after all, the human body was considered the most perfect divine creation. The artist therefore endeavoured to depict the bodies as perfectly as possible and closely observed the fighters' muscular play from all sides. Original: Museo degli Uffizi, Florence, Greek-Hellenistic, 3rd century BC, marble. Polymer ars mundi museum replica, moulded by hand. Reduction, height 44 cm. Weight 19 kg.
