About this work

This print shows a statue of a muscular man draped in a flowing cloth over one arm. His other arm holds a bow, and his hair is styled in loose curls. The figure stands on a rounded base with a vine wrapped around the leg. The title at the bottom, *Apollo di Belvedere*, hints this is a famous ancient statue copied here. The artist, Fontana, made this print in the early 1800s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
