The Apollino or Medici Apollo is a Roman copy of a Hellenistic sculpture of the adolescent god Apollo of the Apollo Lykeios type. It is now in the Uffizi, Florence. Its head has proportions similar to those of Praxiteles's Aphrodite of Cnidus,〔As represented by (Head Ma421 ) in the Louvre. Giulio Emmanuele Rizzo, ''Prassitele'', Milan et Rome, 1932, p. 80-81.〕 and thus it has been argued to be a copy of a Praxitelean original, or at least to be Praxitelean in style. Others argue it is an eclectic creation from the Roman era, mixing several styles from the "second classicism".〔 Martinez, "Les styles praxitélisants", p. 335.〕 Its left arm may have held a bow.〔(Augustus J.C. Hare, "Florence: The Uffizi" )〕 Found complete in Rome in the 17th century, though its exact early provenance is obscure,〔Paolo Alessandro Maffei's note to Domenico de' Rossi's plate in ''Raccolta delle statue antiche e moderne'' (Rome, 1704:pl xxxix) gives a misleading early provenance, according to Francis Haskell and Nicholas Penny, ''Taste and the Antique: the lure of classical sculpture, 1500-1900'' 1981:146-48.〕 it was originally in the Borghese collection, until it was moved to the Medici collection at Villa Medici, where it was recorded in 1704.〔Maffei, 1704.〕 Unlike many ancient sculptures in the Medici collection, it was not moved to Florence by Cosimo III de' Medici, remaining in Rome until it was removed to accompany the Medici Niobe Group in 1769-70.〔Haskell and Penny, 1981:147; Hans Gross, ''Rome in the Age of Enlightenment: The Post-Tridentine Syndrome and the ancien regime'' places the sculpture in Rome.〕 Though it has since declined in reputation, it retained its praise through the 18th century, as one of the most copied Roman sculptures.〔In a letter (''Briefe'', Walther Rehm, ed. IV:27), Johann Joachim Winckelmann noted it as one of the most copied.〕 It was seen in the Tribuna of the Uffizi by the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who commented: In 1840 at the Uffizi it was broken by a painting falling on it〔Guido Mansuelli, ''Galleria degli Uffizi: Le sculture'' (Rome 1958-61) noted in Haskell and Penny 1981:147 note 6.〕 and was restored by Lorenzo Bartolini, who covered the whole statue with a layer of paint to disguise the repairs. In addition to many 17th and 18th century copies, the French sculptor Jean-Baptiste Vietty made a copy of the ''Apollino'' that is conserved in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Lyon There is also an "Apollino Milani" in Florence's National Archaeological Museum. ==Bibliography and external links== *(JSTOR: That 'Most Rare Master Monsii Le Gros' and His 'Marsyas' ) *(JSTOR: Greek Sculpture and Roman Copies I: Anton Raphael Mengs and the Eighteenth Century ) *(Cast ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apollino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
