This iconic work, a prime example of Classical Greek art, is currently housed in the National Museum of Archaeology in Naples, Italy. The marble sculpture, standing tall and upright, depicts a spear-bearer or "doryphoros" in a vertical pose. The original Greek masterpiece, lost to history, is believed to have been a groundbreaking representation of human anatomy and proportion, as described in Polyclitus' treatise, the "Canon."

The museum, rich in ancient art and artifacts, is a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and the enduring influence of Greek art on Western civilization. The Doryphoros of Polyclitus remains an iconic symbol of the classical world, inspiring artists and scholars for centuries. This Roman copy, a faithful representation of the original Greek masterpiece, continues to captivate and inspire visitors to the National Museum of Archaeology in Naples.
