Agony The Famous Group of Laocoon Vatican Rome Italy 1897 Stereoscopic Card

Description: Agony-The Famous Group of Laocoon, Vatican, Rome, Italy 1897 Stereoscopic Card The title “Agony The Famous Group of Laocoon" refers to a sculpture group called “Laocoön and His Sons”. It is one of the most famous ancient sculptures in the world and has been on public display in the Vatican Museums since it was excavated in Rome in 1506. The sculpture depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being attacked by sea serpents. The figures in the statue are nearly life-sized, with the entire group measuring just over 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) in height. The agony portrayed in the sculpture is conveyed through the contorted expressions on the faces, particularly Laocoön’s bulging eyebrows, which were noted by Guillaume-Benjamin Duchenne as physiologically impossible. These expressions are mirrored in the struggling bodies, especially Laocoön’s, with every part of his body shown straining. The Laocoön Group has been called “the prototypical icon of human agony” in Western art. This description was generated by Bing AI, which interpreted the title on the card.
