This massive and muscular Figure originally sculpted in marble, is recreated in 100% bronze using the ancient lost wax casting method, which perfectly mirrors the detail and grandeur of the original. Hercules is depicted in a moment of exhaustion, leaning on his club that is draped with the lion-skin from his earlier labor. Behind his back, he holds the apples of the Hesperides, symbolizing the nearing completion of his legendary Twelve Labors.This statue was highly favored by the Romans, with copies prominently displayed in Roman palaces and gymnasiums. A famous, though coarser, copy stood in the courtyard of Palazzo Farnese, while another, with a likely ancient inscription ""Lykippos,"" has been located in the court of Palazzo Pitti, Florence, since the sixteenth century. The detailed and filigree craftsmanship of this sculpture offers a faithful homage to the original, capturing the immense physicality and psychological weight of Hercules at this moment of triumph and weariness.Mounted on a solid marble base, this exquisite bronze reproduction carries the signature of Glycon, the artist credited for the ancient marble masterpiece. The blend of mythology, art history, and craftsmanship makes this sculpture an extraordinary piece of collectible Art suitable for display in any space that appreciates both classical beauty and mythological significance.
