Description from the seller
An important sculpture depicting Hercules (Heracles), hero of Greek mythology, shown with the famous Nemean Lion’s skin draped over his head, symbol of his first and most famous labors.
The work presents a composition of strong visual impact: the stern, bearded face of the hero emerges beneath the lion’s head, carved with great attention to anatomical detail, giving the whole a solemn and monumental character. The intense expression and the sculptural quality of the surfaces recall the models of classical sculpture from the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
Made in marble powder, the sculpture offers a pleasant tactile texture and a patina that evokes the appearance of ancient works. It is mounted on an elegant modern metal stand with a square base, which ensures stability and enhances display. The shipment will be entrusted to a professional company that will handle professional and careful packaging, with express courier and trackable package. No reserve price.
