Dome

Overall view, frontal view; Marble head of Apollo. Roman, about AD 120-140. Found in Rome, formerly in Giustiniani Palace. This work probably copies a lost Hellenistic Greek bronze prototype. The effete features and extravagant hairstyle recall the Apollo Belvedere in the Vatican, Rome. Formerly in the collection of James Pourtalès (Comte James-Alexandre de Pourtalès-Gorgier).
