Abstract

A white marble bust in the Museo del Prado, heretofore never seen, has all the features of an Apollo. This article aims to demonstrate, however, that its head is a replica of Alessandro Algardi's terracotta model of an angel-currently in Hamburg's Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe-which he made for the statue of Saint Philip Neri in Rome. This new evidence will be discussed in regard to mention of a bust of Apollo by Algardi, the whereabouts of which are unknown, in the late-eighteenth century inventories of the Doccia porcelain manufactory in Florence.
