AFTER THE ANTIQUE BY LYSIPPOS, LATE 19TH CENTURY

The original life-size bronze statue of the Apoxyomenos by Lysippos, the celebrated Hellenistic sculptor, was taken to Rome where it stood in front of the Baths of Agrippa during the reign of Tiberius. The work is now lost, but is known from a single complete Roman marble replica, discovered in 1849 and now in the Vatican.
