THE RIACE WARRIORS: Bronzi di Riace from Magna Graecia Ph.-Set and MP4 in UHD

• THE RIACE WARRIORS | BRONZI DI RIACE:
Of course I couldn't resist featuring these two bronze statuary masterpieces in the Severe Style, marking the beginning of the Classical Period, in my Winter 2026 article 'The Spirit Captured in Graeco-Roman Bronzes' for Antiqvvs Magazine.
And, since every visitor to MANRC captures them anyway, I had to combine my own set [plus MP4] to introduce these wonderful over-life-size contrapposto statues:
The Riace Bronzes [Statue A, 'The Young Man', 198 cm, and Statue B, 'The Old Man', 197 cm],
460 - 450 BC,
Greek casting,
Imported to Magna Graecia [Calabria],
Found by chance in 1972 by Stefano Mariottini, a snorkeler from Rome, in the Ionian Sea [off the coast Riace Marina, Calabria]

Inv. 12801, 12802.

Photos I., II., VI. and VII. were taken at eye-level [bench-surfing for the best angle].
