Apple Belvedere Bronze late 18e beginning 19e century

Reduction after the Roman marble lost copy presumably by the greek sculptor Leochares, made about 330 BC. The original Roman marble is being housed at the Vatican ever since the 16t century (Cortile Belvedère)
The statue shows the epiphany of the God Apollo. He appears in a wide effortless stride. The right leg seems to be carrying the weigh of the body while the left seems to be resting in the background, the muscles show no sign of the tension.
He is nude except for a chlamys draped over his shoulders and left arm. A quiver is attached to his backhand his left arm its raised in an almost threatening gesture. The left hand must have carried a bow. The head with the long hair knotted above the forehead, is vigorously turned toward the bow while his eyes are staring in the distance.
