Apollo the Python-Slayer, c. 350 BC. Attributed to Praxiteles (Greek, c. 400BC-c. 330BC). Bronze, copper, and stone inlay; overall: 150 x x cm (59 1/16 x 19 13/16 x 26 5/16 in.). This bronze sculpture of Apollo formerly known as "Sauroktonos," or lizard-slayer, is attributed to the renowned Greek sculptor Praxiteles. The survival of an original bronze sculpture attributed to a known artist in ancient Greece is extraordinarily rare. This sculptor is otherwise known only from Roman marble copies of his works.
