Description from the seller

Plaster bust of Laocoonte.

The pathos of the Trojan priest is diluted into academic pathos.
Laocoon, in the second book of the Aeneid, advised the Trojans against bringing the wooden horse left by the Greeks into Troy, deceitfully presented as an offering; but when he struck it with his spear, two snakes from the nearby island of Tenedos attacked and strangled his two sons. In an attempt to save them, he was also crushed.

Height 81 cm
Width 30 cm
