The original marble of the Apollo Belvedere is thought to date to the second century AD and is believed to be a Hadrianic copy of an ancient Greek sculpture. It was rediscovered in central Italy in the late 15th century. Probably once in the private collection of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere (later Pope Julius II, r. 1503–13), it was moved to the Vatican in 1509 and placed, in 1511, in the Cortile del Belvedere from which it derives its name.

Gianfrancesco Susini was the nephew of Antonio Susini who was Giambologna's principal assistant and the author of many of the most beautiful casts to have emanated from the Giambologna workshop. Gianfrancesco studied and worked with his uncle and his casts share the jewel-like quality and rich, reddish-gold lacquer for which the latter was famous.
