Apollo Kitharoidos Resin Classical Sculpture
Apollo Kitharoidos arrives with the calm authority of a figure who has already heard the room fall quiet. Apollo stands in a poised contrapposto stance, his head turned slightly upward as he holds the broad frame of a kithara, the ancient stringed instrument associated with music and poetry. A draped cloak falls from his shoulder, classical curls frame his face, and carefully modeled sandals ground the figure on an integrated stepped base. It is a sculpture with presence, but not a fussy one, equally at home on a shelf, console, or tabletop where a little mythology can sharpen the mood.
The details reward a closer look. A column supports the instrument, while a serpent coils upward around its lower section, adding a subtle line of movement beneath Apollo's composed posture. Made from resin and produced using 3D scanning data alongside machine and handcraft processes, the sculpture carries the visual character of a classical original into a contemporary interior. Choose the matte white imitation-plaster finish for a clean, graphic look, or the antiqued imitation-marble finish for warm ivory tones with softly shaded folds, recesses, and architectural details. The two finishes give the same figure distinctly different personalities.
Available in four heights, Apollo can work as a compact accent or claim a more commanding position among books, ceramics, or other collected objects. The scale makes it easy to choose a version that leaves the surrounding arrangement room to breathe. For anyone drawn to music, mythology, classical art, or objects with a story built into their form, this is a piece that keeps offering something to notice: the lifted gaze, the quiet serpent, the elegant instrument, and the sense of motion held perfectly still.

About the Artist
The original Apollo composition was created by Fogelberg in his Rome studio as part of a commission from Karl XIV Johan. This sculpture reproduces that classical Apollo Kitharoidos composition in resin.
