The "Victorious Youth" - also known as the "Atleta di Fano" in Italian sources - is a Greek bronze sculpture that dates back to between 300 and 100 BCE. This ancient work of art is now part of the J. Paul Getty Museum's collection, located in Pacific Palisades, California. Initially, upon its rediscovery, scholars such as Bernard Ashmole attributed it to Lysippos, a renowned figure in Greek art history. However, contemporary researchers focus more on understanding the original context of this sculpture - where it was created, for what purpose, and who it might represent.
