EDITORS COMMENTS
This print juxtaposes the ancient discobole with a modern champion of the record, showcasing the timeless beauty and athleticism of both eras. The unknown artist from the 19th century captured the essence of strength and precision in their depiction of the ancient Greek athlete preparing to throw his discus. His poised stance and focused expression speak volumes about dedication and skill.
In contrast, we see a contemporary athlete standing confidently next to him, embodying the same determination and passion for excellence. The seamless blend of past and present in this image is truly striking, reminding us that while times may change, the pursuit of greatness remains constant.
Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every detail in this composition, from the muscles rippling under taut skin to the intensity in each competitor's eyes. The black-and-white tones add a classic touch to this dynamic scene, emphasizing the timelessness of athletic achievement.
Whether you're a fan of Olympic games or simply appreciate artistry at its finest, this print is sure to inspire admiration for those who push themselves beyond limits in pursuit of victory. It serves as a powerful reminder that champions come in many forms throughout history – united by their unwavering commitment to being their best selves.
