Enea Vico’s engraving of the marble Apollo Belvedere is based on an earlier print that depicts the statue in the state it was discovered, prior to the restoration of its broken left forearm and right hand in the 1530s. Vico also shows how the statue was displayed: in a niche in Pope Julius II’s Belvedere Courtyard in the Vatican in Rome. The Apollo Belvedere came to be revered as the high point of classical aesthetics, and was central to the canon of great masterworks that guided European artists into the nineteenth century. Reproductive prints, such as this one by Vico, played a critical role in establishing and promoting that canon.
