Statue of a Victorious Youth, Greek, 300–100 B.C.

Bronze with inlaid copper

59 5/8 × 27 9/16 × 11 in., 142 lb.

The J. Paul Getty Museum, Villa Collection, Malibu, California

A naked youth stands with his weight on his right leg, crowning himself with a wreath, probably olive. The olive wreath was the prize for a victor in the Olympic Games and identifies this youth as a victorious athlete. The eyes of the figure were originally inlaid with colored stone or glass paste, and the nipples were inlaid with copper, creating naturalistic color contrasts. Found in the sea in international waters, this statue is one of the few life-size Greek bronzes to have survived; as such, it provides much information on the technology of ancient bronze casting.
