@tatyanaaboutart: Laocoön and His Sons The scene this ancient sculptural group depicts is from Virgil’s ‘Aeneid.’ The ancient Roman writer Pliny the Elder described this very sculpture in his ‘Natural History,’ attributing it to three sculptors from Rhodes: Agesander, Athenodoros, and Polydorus - all active in the 1st century BC. The date aligns perfectly with the sculpture’s Hellenistic style, known for its dynamism, realism, and expressive intensity. Scholars today generally agree that the Laocoön is a marble copy of an earlier bronze original. #arttiktok #sculpture #laocoon #learn #LearnOnTikTok
