Beschrijving
Bust of the Apollo Belvedere is carved after the celebrated statue in the Vatican, first recorded there in 1509. Unlike most 18th-century busts after the original, it is not a direct copy: its curved truncation and open-mouthed expression follow the late Roman Baroque style. The large eyes and wavy tendrils of hair recall the St Sebastian by Paolo Campi in Sant’Agnese in Piazza Navona, and the truncation recalls the expressive busts of Lambert-Sigisbert Adam. The reverse is beautifully finished as well.
Made to order and hand-finished in the Netherlands. Choose from 11 sizes, from a 7 cm miniature to a 48 cm statement piece, in marble white, gold, bronze or any colour you like. Explore more pieces in our Europa collection.
