Den belvederiske Apollon is a statue in Copenhagen, placed within one of the city’s public parks. It represents Apollo, a figure from ancient Greek mythology.

Apollo connects this work with arts, music, poetry, and the sun in Greek mythological traditions. The statue follows a recognizable classical artistic tradition. Its name refers to the Belvedere Apollo, a renowned Roman marble sculpture linked to a lost Greek bronze original. The sculpture has been admired since the Renaissance for its idealized human form.

In Copenhagen, this version brings ancient stories and European art history into a green public setting. Other public sculptures also share this park setting. The work reflects Copenhagen’s practice of placing mythological and historical subjects where people encounter art during everyday walks. Its classical form emphasizes balance, proportion, and a calm expression. The statue also shows how Copenhagen’s parks connect visual culture with nature, using public space for shared cultural experience. Apollo remains a mythological subject in Copenhagen’s public art.
