🕑 Added 2021-10-25 07:58:59 +0000 UTC In 1896, at the onset of excavations at Ephesus, Austrian archaeologists made one of their most important finds: in the SW-corner of the palaestra of the Harbour Gymnasium they discovered 234 fragments of a broken bronze statue. Only its head and shoulders remained intact, allowing them to identify the type. It depicts an athlete who, after completing his workout in the gymnasium’s palaestra, is shown scraping off sweat, sand and the oil he had slathered himself with a στλεγγίς (strigilis). In Vienna, the sculptor Wilhelm Sturm painstakingly re-assembled the fragments, holding them in place with brass strips to create larger pieces that were then mounted on a skeleton made of iron rods, before the statue was filled up to the neck with a special type of cement that provides both stability and filled the remaining gaps. Check out the original at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna. Do you like seeing Vienna laid bare? Travel to the city and have a look at these wonderful pieces of art in real life.
