COMMENT ABOUT AGESANDRO, POLIDORO Y ATENODORO
"Laocoont i els seus fills" is the sculpture we decided to represent the last term. Its authors are the following ones: Agesandro, Polidoro and Atenodoro.
All three artists are from Rodas (Greece) and probably Polidoro and Atenodoro are Agesandro's sons.
Little is known of Agesandro, not even with certainty in what time he lived: some believe that he flourished in the time of Pericles, or in that of Alexander the Great; others suppose that it is more modern and that it lived in the s. I d. C. After this time it cannot be, since Pliny the Elder quotes and describes the Laocoon.
The artists' names also appear in an inscription on the statues of Sperlonga.
This sculpture was found in 1506 by Felice de Fredis in the ruins of the baths of the palace of the emperor Tito, in Rome.
Nowadays, the sculpture can be found in the Vatican Museum.
