Something about this piece sends chills down and butterflies in your stomach. I'm not sure why but it's in that ineffable Twilight zone that great art sits that gives you the sense of sensory transcendence if you allow yourself to be open to it.
Yes. It likely would've originally held one, but since it was removable and since it likely was made at least partly of metal, it probably was either lost or melted down for reuse.
There is a picture of three men on the island of Crete who were resistance fighters against the Nazi's and someone took a photo 1 of them is a dead ringer for Brad Pitt ( but with a mustache)

Wonderful.
Was the sculpture painted?
Very likely yes
Good analysis by the "A Team!" But isn't that the same archaic statue shown twice with different dates? 480 vs 580 B.C.?
thanks!
Damn that torso looks like a trunk and solid. F the modern v taper. I will work to get one like that .
Why no Doryforos actually carry a spear?
I mean nowadays of course.
It originally held one
