"This statue, the first significant antiquity to enter the French royal collection, is striking for the dynamic position of the body.
The statue moved around with the French royal court:
In Fontainebleau from 1556, it came to the Louvre's Hall of Antiquities in 1602, then went to Versailles in 1696 before returning to the Louvre a century later."

After all my visits to the Louvre, last time in January I finally took an op to consider my photo version of this masterpiece, since everyone takes pictures of it anyway.
I hope this outlook of mine will add up some 'personalized' flavor to the image and its numerous other shots circulating in media.
