| This Greek bronze, "The Boxer at Rest," was cast sometime in the late 4th- to 2nd century B.C. and discovered during an excavation on Rome's Quirinal Hill in 1885; it's currently on display at the Met. Despite his wounds (with dripping blood depicted in copper), you can almost imagine that he'll spring up to start the next round. [To see more monochromes, visit Dragonstar's meme.] |

Well, he looks tired. I love how his expression is so intricately carved...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
A great post for the B&W theme!
ReplyDeleteI really like this Alexa, it's so "rich" in its movement and textures and expression. & doesn't he look like he is wearing a mask?
ReplyDeleteGood photo; his expression says so much. (It also makes me wonder if he had a crick in his neck...)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fine statue. You've really caught that rich detail.
