Il nudo maschile nella statuaria italiana: L'ANTINOO del Belvedere

Speranza



This sculpture was apparently recorded for the first time on Feb. 27 1543, when a thousand ducats was paid to 'Nicolaus de Palis for a very beautiful marble statue ... [to be] sent to be placed in the Belvedere garden'.
