The bronze statue of Apollo, the Sagittarius, from the ancient Roman period
This statue is part of the collection of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere in the Roman palace. When he was elected as Pope Julius II (1503-1513), these statues were transferred to the Vatican and have been preserved there since at least 1508, now housed in the Vatican Museums. Apollo walked forward with great majesty, as if he had just released an arrow from the bow in his left hand.
