EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Greek civilization through a Roman copy of the Apoxyomenos statue, sculpted by Lysippos. The image captures a young Greek athlete in all his glory, standing tall and naked, as he cleans himself with a strigile - a body-scraper used in ancient times. The marble sculpture exudes an air of antiquity and craftsmanship, reflecting the artistic prowess of its creator. In this studio shot, we witness the side view of this magnificent artwork, emphasizing its intricate details and lifelike representation. The athlete's arms are stretched outwards, showcasing his muscular physique and highlighting the dedication to physical fitness that was highly valued in ancient Greece. The Apoxyomenos statue symbolizes not only hygiene practices but also embodies ideals such as discipline and self-care prevalent in Greek society. It serves as a testament to their appreciation for beauty and athleticism. As we delve into this single object frozen in time, we are transported back to ancient Greece where art flourished alongside intellectual pursuits. This photograph allows us to marvel at the skillful execution of Lysippos' work while offering insight into one aspect of daily life during that era.
