Image description

Whole artwork view. On the left, in the paddock of the temple, Laocoon is attacked by a snake and tries to free himself; on the ground, in front of the altar, lies dead one of Laocoon's sons, while another son wriggles among the coils of another snake; beside, the white bull designed to be murdered in the occasion of the sacifice, behind which can be seen a burning altar and four human figures attending to the rite; in the foreground, wreaths hang from a wall; from Casa di Laocoonte.
