This photograph by Edizione Brogi, taken before 1907, depicts the famous sculpture of the Laocoön Group. This Hellenistic masterpiece, sculpted in marble, depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his two sons being attacked by serpents sent by the goddess Athena. The sculpture showcases the expressive realism of Hellenistic art, capturing the intense pain and struggle of the figures as they fight against the relentless serpents. This iconic work has been a source of inspiration and admiration for artists and scholars for centuries, residing in the Vatican Museums since its discovery in 1506.
