The boasting mortal Niobe cowers before her punishment by the gods. These two figures were originally part of a larger group depicting the killing by the gods of Niobe and her children. The groiup was probably set up by Seleukos, a king of Cilicia in south coastal Asia Minor. It was moved to Rome in 38 BC to decorate the rebuilt temple of Apollo in the Campus Martius. The original o this cast was damaged in a bomb blast at the Uffizi in 1993; restored and rediplayed in 2006. As usual, we only have later Roman copies to show us what the original was like. But the strong emotional content of the sculpture, a favourite theme of Hellenistic styles, is clear.   Photography Credit - CC BY-SA 4.0 - Nationalmuseum These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible.
