1065623 The statue of Laoco繹n and His Sons c.1890 (colour chromolithograph) by German School, (19th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: The statue of Laoco繹n and His Sons (Italian: Gruppo del Laocoonte), also called the Laoco繹n Group, has been one of the most famous ancient sculptures ever since it was excavated in Rome in 1506 and placed on public display in the Vatican, where it remains. Exceptionally, it appears to be identifiable with a statue praised in the highest terms by the main Roman writer on art, Pliny the Elder. The figures are near life-size and the group is a little over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in height, showing the Trojan priest Laoco繹n and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being attacked by sea serpents; Laoco繹n was a Trojan priest of Poseidon who was killed with both his sons after attempting to expose the ruse of the Trojan Horse by striking it with a spear. ); Prismatic Pictures .
