Discus Thrower in The Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris

myminifactory

This marble sculpture in the Jardin du Luxembourg showcases a man kneeling beside a discus lying at his feet. Details about this artwork remain scarce, but it could be either a reinterpretation of the renowned Discobolus sculpture (also featured on Scan The World, accessible here!) or a visual representation of the famous mythological tale of Hyacinth, which can be further explored from the Louvre's own sculpture exhibit. This object is part of "Scan The World," a non-profit initiative launched by MyMiniFactory that aims to create a comprehensive digital library of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks, and landmarks worldwide for public access. Through Scan The World, users are creating an open-source community archive, contributing their own items from across the globe for free.
