The Apollo of Belvedere, also called the Apollo Pythios, is a famous marble sculpture from Classical Antiquity. It was rediscovered at the end of the 15th century, during the Renaissance. From the mid-18th century, it was considered the finest ancient sculpture by the neoclassicists and for centuries was considered the epitome of the ideals of aesthetic perfection in European and Western culture.
