Apollonios, Belvedere Torso
1st Century BC / 1st Century BCE - Vatican Museums, Vatican City
Perhaps a fragment of a sculpture depicting the Greek hero Ajax Telamonius, and a copy from a 2nd century bronze original, the statue has been known in Rome since the fifteenth century and became one of the ancient sculptures most admired by artists up to the present day. Among others, it served Michelangelo as a model for the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, and three centuries later for Dante's Barque by Eugène Delacroix.
