From play to competition, sport is an integral part of our Western societies. So it's hardly surprising that, from ancient times onwards, artists have taken up this theme and sought to understand how to depict gestures that are both singular and multiple, to recreate the dynamics of movement or represent the tension of effort.

From Antiquity - through the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans - to the present day, this richly illustrated book offers both a study of the aesthetics inspired or invoked by sport and a cultural history of the practice of sport through its famous and lesser-known images. From Athenian wrestlers to contemporary sprinters, from Greek statuary to manga, the artists of the exhibition are constantly renewing their inventiveness as they bear witness to more than two millennia of sporting epic.
