Description

Apoxyòmenos, Greek athlete that cleans him self with the “strigile”, is a bronze artwork made around the 330 b.C. by the sculptor Lisippo. A roman copy was digged in 1849 and was taken in the Vatican Museum.
The mold used to execute the bronze work using the lost-wax casting process was produced directly in the Vatican in 1932 by Ferdinando Marinelli Sr., and is currently in the collection of the Fonderia Artistica Ferdinando Marinelli
