...tors of this and subsequent angles. the legs are no less interesting considering the direction of is perpendicular to the final angle bisection. (Shown at A) The angle created between his left leg and the second angle bisection also holds great interest. besides forcing the eye to examine the whole piece and its continuity, its bisector has an interesting correlation visible at B, furthering the flow of the piece. Finally, the angle bisector between the leg and the left arm holds interest (Shown at C) as it displays the direction of the twist of the body. This is a marble copy after the original, life size, bronze Disocbolus by Myron, originally made circa 450 B.C. It now resides in the Museo delle Terme in Rome. The concept of the ideal man is immediately evident in the definition of form and realistic proportions of the statue. In addition to the immediately evident perfection of body and form, Discobolus shows incredible propensity towards mathematical derivation. The angle created by his arms has its intersection exactly below his right eye. The direction of the body directly corresponds with the bisect...
