Period, showing Laocoon the Trojan priest of Apollo and his
sons, condemned by the anger of the gods to be crushed to
death by serpents for Laocoon's attempt to expose the ruse of
the Trojan Horse. The discovery of the Laocoön in 1506 made
a great impression on Italian sculptors such as Michelangelo
and is credited for sparking the entire Italian Renaissance art.
