Descripción
This Discophoros, also spelled Discophorus (Greel, Discus-Bearer) was a bronze sculpture by the classical Greek sculptor Polykleitos, creator of the Doryphoros and Diadumenos, and its many Roman marble copies.
Like the Doryphoros and Diadumenos, it was created as an example of Polykleitos' 'canon' of the ideal human form in sculpture. It features a young, muscular, solidly built athlete in a moment of thought before throwing a discus. Most copies of the work (such as this one) feature the addition of a tree stump; this is because marble is weaker but heavier than bronze, and a stump was needed for support.
