Apollo Belvedere

Apollo of Belvedere is an antique statue depicting the ancient Greek and Roman god of sunlight Apollo in the form of a young handsome youth shooting from a bow. Apollo's appearance is extremely elegant. Noteworthy is his lush, sophisticated hairstyle with a tied bow at the top. It is not far from here to cold aristocracy and mannered pretentiousness, but the statue of Apollo Belvedere maintains a balance between broad generalization and petty detail.
