EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases the renowned sculpture known as Apollo Sauroktonos, also referred to as Lizard Killer. This Roman copy of a Greek bronze masterpiece was created around 350 BC and is attributed to the esteemed artist Praxiteles. Standing tall at a height of 149 cm, this marble rendition can be found in the Louvre museum in Paris, France. Apollo Sauroktonos depicts a youthful male figure who exudes both strength and grace. Though it should have held a dagger in his hand originally, this particular copy lacks that detail. The sculpture captures Apollo in an intense moment, poised to strike down a lizard with swift precision. The Hellenistic original from which this Roman replica derives showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The sculptor skillfully portrays the young god's athletic form and muscular physique while emphasizing his nudity as an emblem of divine beauty. This stunning image offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the artistry behind ancient sculptures and their enduring impact on contemporary aesthetics. It serves as a testament to Praxiteles' mastery and contributes to our understanding of classical art history.
