Diadoumenos (statue; Polykleitos; ca. 430 BCE)

Note: Lost bronze original, Diadoumenos (youth tying a fillet around his head). 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-5th century BCE, 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—poised between standing and walking—give a sense of potential movement.
