Laocoön, a Trojan priest, attempted to expose the Greek wooden horse and was punished by the gods with gargantuan snakes, which enveloped him and his sons. This fate was immortalized in a Hellenistic marble sculpture, rediscovered in early sixteenth century Rome. In the long tradition of art “aping” art, Titian made a drawing (later a woodcut) of the group as primates, who are represented here in bronze as chimpanzees, playing with a garden hose.
