The Skeleton of Deity: An Artistic Exploration of Apollo

This 3D printed sculpture captures the essence of Apollo in an innovative way. The head is split in two, showing Apollo's classical beauty on the outside and his skeleton on the inside.

It is recommended to print the external part and the joint in white, while the skull can be printed separately in different colors to emphasize the pop soul of the work. This unique representation pushes us to consider the fragility of life and the complexity of divine figures."

Where does this sculpture take its inspiration from?

The Apollo Belvedere (also called the Belvedere Apollo, Apollo of the Belvedere, or Pythian Apollo) is a celebrated marble sculpture from classical antiquity.

The work has been dated to mid-way through the 2nd century A.D. and is considered to be a Roman copy of an original bronze statue created between 330 and 320 B.C. by the Greek sculptor Leochares. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century during the Italian Renaissance and was placed on semi-public display in the Vatican Palace in 1511, where it remains. It is now in the Cortile del Belvedere of the Pio-Clementine Museum of the Vatican Museums complex.

From the mid-18th century it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists, and for centuries it epitomized the ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world.
