Frederic Leighton's "An Athlete Wrestling with a Python," created between 1888-1891, revolutionized British sculpture. It strayed from Victorian norms, marking the inception of the 'New Sculpture' movement. The bronze piece depicts a Greek mythology-inspired struggle between an athlete and a python, revealing Leighton's love for ancient aesthetics. His meticulous technique enhanced the realism and dynamism of the sculpture, earning it acclaim and solidifying Leighton's prominence within the art movement and Western art history.
