Artwork description
The artwork is linked to the painting depicting Tyrrhenus and is inspired by the same sculptural group of the Apollo of Veio decorating the columen of the temple consecrated to Menerva, in the archaeological area of Veio. The goddess Latona, mother of Apollo, was represented there in the act of throwing an arrow against the snake Python and testified the high level of stylistic refinement reached by the school of the sculptor Vulca, to which the decoration of the temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline hill in Rome is attributed. The goddess has the classic “archaic smile” typical of 6th century BC statues.
