The sculpture is believed to have been created in the 1st century BCE and is attributed to the artists Hagesandros, Polydoros, and Athenodoros of Rhodes. It is celebrated for its intricate details and emotional intensity, showcasing the struggle and agony of Laocoön and his sons. Today, it is housed in the Vatican Museums.
