White Marble Nude Torso Sculpture Apollo Grand Tour Style Classical 20th Italian

after 1900

About the Item

A white marble nude torso sculpture of the god Apollo in grand tour style, classical greek carved in the 20th century, probably Italia centrale. Apollo depicted nude with a relevant anatomical description and with a woven holder for the quiver, standing on a stainless steel pin on a geometry grey marble standing. Apollo is one of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. One of the most important and complex of the Greek gods, he is the son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis, goddess of the hunt. He is considered to be the most beautiful god and is represented as the ideal of the kouros (ephebe, or a beardless, athletic youth). The Grand Tour was the principally 17th- to early 19th-century custom of a traditional trip through Europe, with Italy as a key destination, undertaken by upper-class young European men of sufficient means and rank (typically accompanied by a tutor or family member) when they had come of age (about 21 years old).
