Statue of Apollo

Marble. Roman copy (117—130 CE) from a Greek original (4th century BCE).

Apollo is depicted in slight movement, with the left advanced leg, the pick in his right hand and the cetra held by the left and resting on the shoulder and on the side; the belt of the zither, which crosses the bust transversely, is decorated with a thin and sinuous plant shoot with volutine.

(Rome, Vatican Museums, Pius-Clementine Museum.)

Giorgio Ghisi (1520 - 1582), the Italian draughtsman and engraver, and Renaissance printmaker also known as Giorgio Mantuano.  Ghisi the Mantuano was also employed by the Gonzaga family as keeper of jewels and precious metals, and overseer of work on the Gonzaga wardrobes. He worked damascening, adding ornamental designs to metalwork, although the only pieces he signed in this art form that are known authored by him are a shield and a dagger hilt.
