Description
The J. Paul Getty Museum courtyard contained many works of art. This one caught my eye. Looks like a famous piece of art and life size. This is not a copy - they are the real thing.
Scanned from a photo, taken in the early 80s.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous comments.

Looks like they're fighting over who gets to trim the bush. Great shot!

Was this supposed to have an advisory? Great shot, well seen!

Interesting statues!

I like this a lot! I wonder who these guys are. I thought perhaps Castor and Pullux, but also maybe Romulus and Remus...but who knows!? At any rate this is a superb capture. I love the light and the shadow, and the colors are wonderful. This is amazing and I'd love to visit this museum myself. This is great naturalistic sculpture...I love the play of their muscles and their ball-player's expressiveness. Well...Grecian (and by extension, Roman) wrestling poses. I don't think the violence tag is necessary, and probably not the nudity tag, though a sharp eye can actually spot a bit of "flagrant maleness." I love that term: "flagrant maleness." I once heard a biologist use it to describe the appearance of an ape displaying his...well...his flagrance. But that's a rambling aside so I'm gonna shut up now.

Great shot ! Posto veramente fuori dal comune ! Place really out of the ordinary!

I can't understand how anyone, especially a fellow photographer, could possibly be offended by such a beautiful sculpture and photo. If you are in-fact required to add the warning, the rules here seriously need to be looked at.

I just had to look to see what nudity might be found in the J. Paul Getty Museum, ha ha! I also loved the phrase "flagrant maleness!"

They look to be in a grappling mood!! Look at the views on this post. It is amazing how many more there are when adding said tags. :) :) :)

Stellar effects in this shot of the courtyard foliage and what appears to be a couple of wrestlers. And, the dark shadows hide any vestige of nudity. Incidentally, nudity doesn't bother me a bit. It is natural, isn't it?

I don't think you needed the advisory, if you do I think half the museums and gardens in the UK would be shut down, somebody should tell them the bush is not a ball.nice shot.
