Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This ancient Greek marble sculpture was probably created around 200 BC. It depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his two sons, Antiphantes and Thymbraeus, being attacked by sea serpents. It was excavated almost completely intact in 1506 in a vineyard. A replacement for the missing right arm of Laocoön was created by Giovanni Antonio Montorsoli, a pupil of Michelangelo. In 1906, the original right arm was unearthed and given to the Vatican, but it wasn't until 1957 that it was decided to reattach it. In the 1980s the original arm was reattached, and other restored pieces of the children's hands and arms were removed. |
