Description:
|
|
The Villa Medici contains some of the collections of Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici as well as collections as part of the French Academy in Rome, including a Gipsoteca, a plaster-cast collection for study purposes. The Belvedere Torso is a fragmentary marble statue of a nude male, known to be in Rome from the 1430s, and signed prominently on the front of the base by "Apollonios, son of Nestor, Athenian", who is unmentioned in ancient literature. It is now in the Museo Pio-Clementino (Inv. 1192) of the Vatican Museums. The sculpture dates from the 1st century BCE; the artist was most probably inspired by a bronze from the first half of the 2nd century BCE.
