Our Life-size Discobolus Statue for sale is an incredible reproduction of the Roman version in the Vatican Museums, copy inspired by the Greek original by Myron, circa 460-450 BC. There are many ancient copies of this statue with slight differences such as the marble support of the legs, and the side where the head turns, right or left. An impressive discobolus statue, one of the most famous and renown sculptures worldwide, available now for your enjoyment. Of the nearly twenty copies that are preserved more or less complete, this one of the so-called Lancelotti type was found in 1791 at Villa Fede near Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. The head added by Carlo Albacini follows the Townley model, which incorrectly looks forward and not towards the discus, as in the original work by Myron.

ABOUT THE MATERIAL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP Our large-size sculptures are crafted using a unique and proprietary dry casting process. Composed of over 90% natural white marble mixed with architectural resin, these statues achieve the authentic look and feel of natural marble.

This method ensures a strong yet hollow structure, reducing cost and weight while maintaining durability. Each statue is meticulously hand-finished and patinated, with an optional aged beige patina available to add an antique touch. Structural reinforcement, such as PU foam core, sand, or metal, is incorporated as needed to ensure stability. Weather-resistant, these sculptures are designed to withstand the elements and retain their beauty in both indoor and outdoor environments. KEY FEATURES: Natural white marble + architectural resin Chiselled surface texture resembling bush-hammered stone Layered with roto-casting technology Hollow with structural reinforcement as needed (PU foam core, sand, props, or bars) Pure white with optional aged beige patina Weather-resistant DECISION BETWEEN PURE WHITE AND AGED PATINA For indoor settings, we recommend the pure white finish for its brightness. For outdoor installations, the aged beige patina is recommended if it complements the building's architecture, while pure white remains a versatile choice for most settings. The intensity of the patina can also be chosen, with light beige being the default option. Please note that while the patina can always be added afterwards, the pure white finish cannot be restored once the patina is applied. Most of our customers choose the pure white version. INDOOR & OUTDOOR INSTALLATION Our life-size statues are expertly balanced on their bases to stand securely both indoors and outdoors. For added stability, the base can be secured using various methods, including resin glue, cementitious glue, or mechanical means such as iron bars or hooks. MAINTENANCE To maintain the best appearance of your outdoor statue, apply wax or polyurethane spray once a year. During cold winters, avoid ice accumulation in crevices by salting or covering them. In winter, most outdoor statues need protection against freezing, especially around the crevices where water gets trapped and expands, forming ice. The safest option is to cover the statue completely, as is done with public statues outdoors. Invest in a piece of history and artistry. Choose our statues to transform your space into a testament to timeless elegance and luxurious taste.
