Beschrijving
The Apollo Belvedere depicts Apollo, god of many things including music and a protector against evil, often shown in a decidedly feminine manner with soft curves, rounded forms and long, artfully arranged hair. Here he has just shot his deadly arrows at Python, a female monster, and taken over her temple at Delphi. Winckelmann was greatly taken with the figure and believed it so much more perfect than other Greek works that it could not be a Roman copy, but must be a Greek marble original brought directly to Rome.
