The arrow has just left Apollo's bow. His hair, flows in ringlets down his neck, his head encircled with the strophium, a band symbolic of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended across his left shoulder. He is entirely nude except for his sandals and a robe (chlamys) clasped at his right shoulder, turned up on his left arm, and thrown back. Apollo Belvedere, also called the Pythian Apollo is a celebrated marble sculpture from antiquity. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century. The lower part of the right arm and the left hand were missing when discovered and were restored by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli (1506?63), a sculptor and pupil of Michelangelo. From the mid-18th century it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists, and for centuries epitomized ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world. It is now found in the Gabinetto delle Maschere of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex. Leochares (Greek, 350 and 325 BC) The Apollo is thought to be a Roman copy of Hadrianic date (ca. 120-140) of a lost bronze original made between 350 and 325 BC by the Greek sculptor Leochares.
