3d printed Apollo Belvedere statue, hand painted weathered marble effect. The Apollo Belvedere (also called the Belvedere Apollo, Apollo of the Belvedere, or Pythian Apollo) is a celebrated marble sculpture from classical antiquity. The work has been dated to mid-way through the 2nd century A.D. & is considered to be a Roman copy of an original bronze statue created between 330 & 320 B.C. by the Greek sculptor Leochares. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century during the Italian Renaissance & was placed on semi-public display in the Vatican Palace in 1511, where it remains. It is now in the Cortile del Belvedere of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex. From the mid-18th century it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists, & for centuries it epitomized the ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans & westernized parts of the world.
