Subject Description:
Hyacinth, a Spartan prince of great beauty, was beloved of the god Apollo. But the West Wind also loved the boy and was jealous of the god's affections. When Apollo was one day teaching Hyacinth how to hurl the discus, the wind dashed it back against Hyacinth's skull, killing him. From his blood, according to legend, grew the hyacinth flower. Bosio, choose the moment just before his death, as Hyacinth watches his mentor Apollo and waits his turn.Sculpture, large scale, bronze; reclining male nude figure on base
