IMG_1700 Belvedere Torso .jpg

In this image, a woman is reading the information about the "Belvedere Torso", a large fragment of Greek Hellenistic sculpture from
the first century BC. and is signed by the Athenian sculptor Apollonios,
The sculpture was found in Rome in the 15th c. and has derived part of its fame because Michelangelo said it was the only
teacher he ever needed.

Romans had great admiration for Greek sculpture, and wealthy Romans collected it avidly.
Thus its location in Rome where it was found.
