In 18 the century, it was covered with window walls to exhibit the statutes. The Gallery of Statutes continues until the<strong> &#8220;Gallery of Busts&#8221;<\/strong>. Most of the exhibited artworks are the statutes of Ancient Rome and Renaissance period. The walls of the gallery were originally decorated and adorned with frescoes, mosaics, city and nature landscapes and some of its parts are still visible today. The statutes were put later to be exhibited. The Apollo Belvedere Statute is the copy of a bronze Ancient Greek statue in the Roman Period. This statute was one of the statutes inspired by the artists in the Renaissance Period and exhibited the perfectness of the aesthetics of the male body for ages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/travelingturks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laocoon-and-his-sons.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16818 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingturks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laocoon-and-his-sons.jpg\" alt=\"vatican museum &quot;gallery of statues&quot;\" width=\"800\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingturks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laocoon-and-his-sons.jpg 800w, https:\/\/travelingturks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laocoon-and-his-sons-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingturks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/laocoon-and-his-sons-768x469.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Laocoon and His Sons&#8221;<\/strong> is another iconic statute you should see.
