Lysippos

 

 

Boxer of Therme

 

The Boxer of Thermon.
It is perhaps the only authentic surviving work of Lysippos in bronze. The creator has chosen to represent the athlete, the moment  the judges are ready to announce the winner.
The "Boxer" who is probably unable to hear due to his injuries, looks at  them and the crowd to verify the result.
The wounds in his face have been added besides with pure pieces of bronze.
(Rome: Museum Nationale Romano)
