Myron’s Discus Thrower

The man was holding a heavy discus in his hand, ready to throw it against the wind. The body curves slightly, and the legs strongly support the ground, presenting a graceful and compact movement. The sculpture showcases the artist’s exquisite grasp of human proportions and movements through accurate anatomical structures and muscle expressions.

The entire scene seems to freeze at a climax moment, showcasing the moment when athletes concentrate their strength before throwing discus. This moment of freezing gives the sculpture a sense of eternity and immortality, successfully capturing the essence of movement.

Casting Bronze	Injecting high-temperature molten bronze into a wax cavity to fill the entire shape.
Cooling	After filling the shape with bronze, wait for it to cool and solidify.
