Featured Picture of the DayThe Victorious Youth is a Greek bronze sculpture created between 300 and 100 BCE. It is currently displayed at the Getty Villa, a museum in Pacific Palisades, California. The sculpture was found in the summer of 1964 in the sea off Fano on the Adriatic coast of Italy, snagged in the nets of an Italian fishing trawler. In 1977, the J. Paul Getty Museum purchased the bronze. Bernard Ashmole, an archaeologist and art historian, was asked to inspect the sculpture by Munich art dealer Heinz Herzer; Ashmole and other scholars attributed it to Lysippos, a prolific sculptor of Classical Greek art. The research and conservation of the Victorious Youth dates from the 1980s to the 1990s and is based on studies in classical bronzes by ancient Mediterranean specialists in collaboration with the Getty Museum. Scholars have various theories as to the identity of the subject, the least controversial of which is that the figure was an ancient Olympic runner who held a victor's palm branch in his left arm. His right hand reaches to touch the winner's olive wreath on his head. Sculpture credit: attributed to Lysippos; photographed by the J. Paul Getty MuseumContent startedARTICLES
