He deliberately conceived the sculpture to be viewed from multiple angles, thereby departing from the prevailing Roman tradition of orienting sculptures toward a single principal viewpoint. Perhaps meant as a commentary on the victory over Napoleon, the statue was exhibited from 1821 in one of the glasshouses of Vienna\u2019s Burggarten before being transferred to the Upper Belvedere in 1847."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Marble"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/5439/full"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Bellerophon Fighting the Chimera"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Sculpture"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/165394/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1821"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"11677661"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-8358/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"ca.: 210 × 147 × 59 cm"}}]}
