Dolia et Skathos skateboard

Attributed to Rom av.JC

As part of our collaboration on the “Légendes du Sport – La Passion du Mouvement” exhibition, I produced a series of 10 plates with the Musée des Beaux-arts de Beaune.

My favorite gladiaskers are each depicted on a different vase, sometimes carrying the Olympic flame, sometimes amphorae, and all at the risk of falling.
