古希腊雕塑《掷铁饼者》复制品

这尊古希腊“铁饼者”雕塑的罗马复制品是古代世界和大英博物馆最著名的雕塑之一。它展示了一位理想化的运动员——赤身裸体、优雅且永远年轻——似乎捕捉到了掷铁饼前的那一刻。掷铁饼者体现了平衡对立力量的理念。在其比例的节奏与和谐中，古希腊人看到了世界混乱背后的潜在秩序。

This Roman copy of the ancient Greek sculpture of a ‘discobolus’, or discus-thrower, is one of the most famous sculptures from the ancient world and theBritishMuseum. It shows an idealised athlete – naked, refined and eternally youthful – seemingly captured in the moment before releasing the discus. Discobolus embodies the idea of balancing opposing forces. In the rhythm and harmony of his proportions, the ancient Greeks saw an underlying order behind the chaos of the world.
