Apollo Belvedere
Timeless Power
Apollo: ancient god of music, poetry, dance and the sun. This marble statue is a copy of the original bronze version from 320 BC. Apollo is one of the foremost gods of antiquity, an inspiration to artists, poets and choreographers throughout time. The power of Apollo as a symbol for art and beauty is timeless - George Balanchine’s ballet Apollo has been performed over a span of almost 100 years, from Serge Lifar in 1928 to Chase Finlay in 2013.
