Head, arms, and legs from the knees down, and tree trunk are ancient. Remainder of the figure is a cast taken from a marble copy found at Delos and now in the Nation Museum, Athens.Copy of a Greek bronze statue of ca. 430 B.C. by PolykleitosThe statue represents a youth adorning his head with a fillet (band) after a victory in an athletic contest. The original bronze probably stood in a sanctuary such as that at Olympia or Delphi where games were regularly held. The Greek sculptor Polykleitos of Argos, who worked during the mid-fifth century B.C., was one of the most famous artists of the ancient world. His figures are carefully designed with special attention to bodily proportions and stance. The figure's thorax and pelvis tilt in opposite directions, setting up rhythmic contrasts in the torso that create an impression of organic vitality. The position of the feet\u2014poised between standing and walking\u2014give a sense of potential movement. This rigorously calculated pose, which is found in almost all work attributed to Polykleitos, became a standard formula used in Graeco-Roman and later Western European art.Free picture Fragments of a marble statue of the Diadoumenos (youth tying a fillet around his head) integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
