Athlete, by Antoni Alsina i Amils, 1918, bronze. Museum Comarcal de l’Urgell - Tàrrega.
Bronze sculpture, of 62x25x14.5 centimeters, of a naked young man with the laurels of victory on his head, which featured in the Exposició d’Art in Barcelona in 1918. Alsina Amils showed the same work in an exhibition by artists from Tàrrega shortly afterwards.
The athlete is a superb example of the author’s classical style. His nudes are sensual, slender and graceful.
