1429 CE
A large fragment of a mid-first century marble statue of a seated pugilist by the Athenian sculptor Apollonius, the son of Nestor, is found in Rome before 1430.
Known as the Belvedere Torso (and closely related to the bronze statue of a seated boxer now in the Terme Museum, Rome, which is probably by the same sculptor and suggests the statue's original appearance), the Belvedere Torso influences contemporary Italian painters, sculptors, and graphic artists on their various renditions of the male torso.
