Description

The Statue of Apollo Belvedere and its pedestal are located approximately 90 metres southeast of the Atlas Fountain at Castle Howard. The statue, created in the mid-18th century by John Cheere, is made of lead and stands on a sandstone pedestal dating from around 1720, likely designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor. The pedestal is about 2.5 metres tall and features a square three-course base that supports a drum pedestal with a moulded base and cornice, adorned with festoons.

The statue is heavily decayed, missing its head and one arm, and is currently supported at the back by an iron rod. It is a copy of a Roman bronze original by Leochares, which is housed in the Vatican Museum in Rome.
