The Uffizi Wrestlers is a famous Roman marble sculpture copied after a lost Greek original of the 3rd century BC. The sculpture was found in Rome near the gate of St. John Lateran in April, 1583. It is now housed in the Uffizi collection, Florence. The two young men are engaged in the sport called Pankration, similar to the present-day sport of ‘mixed martial arts’. The two figures are clutching one another, and one seems to have the upper hand, holding the other down and twisting his arm back. Their muscular structure is very defined and exaggerated due to their physical and sustained effort.

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
