Sohn des Laokoon (Laocoon), Büste, Kopf, Porträtbüste, Porträtkopf, Abguss
16. Jahrhundert
The Laocoon group, which was found in 1506, had an effect on the entire intellectual world that is probably unparalleled. With its discovery a range of discussions – genetic, archaeological, aesthetic-theoretical – were set off that have lasted to the present day. The work of the Rhodian sculptors Hagesandros, Athanadoros and Polydoros, which most likely dates from the early imperial era, has served as a model for countless copies, reductions and interpretations. Both heads were acquired as study objects by Archduke Ferdinand II, or on his behalf. Laocoon, a priest of Apollo or of Poseidon, is strangled by sea serpents with his two sons, after attempting to save the inhabitants of Troy from bringing the wooden horse into the city.
