Description:
|
|
The Apollo may be a Roman copy of Hadrianic date (ca. 120-140) of a lost bronze original made between 350 and 325 BCE by the Greek sculptor Leochares. It is now regarded as a Roman creation of the early 2nd century CE. Apollo is depicted as a standing archer having just shot an arrow. Although there is no agreement as to the precise narrative detail being depicted, the conventional view has been that he has just slain the serpent Python. The statue was discovered ca. 1489 and became part of the private collection of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere. When he became Pope Julius II, he moved the statue to the Belvedere, where it became famous. The Apollo became one of the world's most celebrated art works when in 1755 it was championed by Winckelmann as the best example of the Greek aesthetic ideal.
