EDITORS COMMENTS
Apollo, the ancient Olympic deity, is depicted in this magnificent marble sculpture from the Imperial Era, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Apollo, one of the most significant gods in both Greek and Roman mythology, was the god of music, poetry, art, archery, prophecy, and the sun. He is often portrayed holding a lyre or a zither, symbolizing his role as the god of music. In this sculpture, Apollo is shown in a relaxed pose, playing his stringed instrument with an air of grace and serenity. The Imperial Era, which spanned from the 1st century BC to the 3rd century AD, was a period of great artistic and cultural development in the Roman Empire. The intricate details and lifelike quality of this sculpture are a testament to the advanced artistic techniques of the time. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, founded in 1889, is one of Denmark's oldest and most renowned museums, with a collection that spans from ancient civilizations to modern art. This sculpture of Apollo is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history, mythology, or art.
