Laocoon and his son sculptures are among the most famous ancient sculptures, and one of the highlights of the Vatican Museum, hanging in public.

The laocoon and his sons sculpture, was first documented by the Writer Pliny The Elder, who saw her in the Imperial Palace of the Emperor Titus. It was commissioned by the Emperor in the 1st century BC and made by Sculptors of Rhodes as a copy of an original Greek bronze of the 2nd Century BC.

During the turbulent period at the end of the Roman Empire, the old Cohen sculpture was buried and lost. It was rediscovered in 1506 near Domos Orea, Nero. Pope Julius II was told when the statue was found in the vineyard. The pope was a passionate classicist and sent his court artist michelangelo to determine its value and oversee the excavation of the statue. The laocoon and his sons sculpture,was placed in a niche on the wall of the Vatican’s Belvedere Garden, which is now part of the Vatican Museum.

Michelangelo painted many of the Lao people and his sons. Two years after studying the statue, Michelangelo began creating Vatican murals at the Sistine Chapel.
