Apollo 1530

Michelangelo's "Apollo" (c. 1530) is a marble sculpture of the Greek god Apollo, renowned for his beauty and artistic skill. The sculpture captures Apollo's youthful grace, with a relaxed yet powerful stance and a subtle, almost melancholic expression. The figure stands on a rocky base, adding to the sculpture's sense of realism and grounding it in a natural setting. Currently housed in the Bargello Museum in Florence, Italy, this work exemplifies Michelangelo's mastery of form and anatomy, characteristic of High Renaissance sculpture.
