Apollo Belvedere, Marble statue in Vatican Museums, Vatican City.
The marble Apollo Belvedere statue stands 224 centimeters tall, depicting the god Apollo with his right arm extended and left hand holding remnants.
The statue represents a second century Roman copy of an original Greek bronze from 350 BCE, attributed to the sculptor Leochares.
The Apollo Belvedere influenced European art standards from its rediscovery in the 15th century through the Neoclassical period of the 18th century.
The statue occupies a central position in the Octagonal Court of the Vatican Museums, accessible through regular museum admission tickets.
The sandals detail on the statue differs from typical Greek designs, leading researchers to question its authenticity as a direct copy.
