	Apollo Belvedere - MSN Encarta
		Apollo Belvedere, marble statue of Apollo on display in the Belvedere section of the Vatican Museum in Rome, Italy.
		The Apollo Belvedere was much admired by Gianlorenzo Bernini and other artists at the time of its discovery.
		Montorsoli, a pupil of Michelangelo, restored the hands but did so incorrectly; the right hand was not empty but held a laurel branch, and the left hand held a bow, as testified by the quiver on the back of the figure.

	Richard D North on his "new" Apollo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Apollo Belvedere is usually supposed to have begun life (lifelessness) as a 4th Century (BC) Greek marble sculpture, lost to sight some time after the 2nd Century AD.
		Even if my Apollo is from a mould of a bust cast in the 18th (or even the 19th century), that would still place its "origins" in a period which already has a patina which appeals to me. Then there is the matter of what is the nature of my copy.
		But he was carved when Apollo was a God, and that's true whether he was first carved by a Greek or a Roman, and I am in a subterranean way drawn to that.
