Apollo of Veio
National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia
This was part of a sculptural group that adorned the roof of the tuscan temple of Minerva in Portonaccio, near Veio, created to scale between 510 and 490 B.C. The style represents a total divergence from the grecian sculpture of the time. It was found during digs in the area in 1916, perfectly intact.
