Sculpture, Busto di Ercole Farnese - 60 cm - Plaster

Title
Grand bust of Hercules in plaster – from a classic model – H 60 cm

Description
Important plaster bust sculpture portraying Hercules, inspired by the great tradition of classical sculpture and the famous archaeological models of the Greco-Roman world.

The figure presents a strong plastic presence: the mature face, the head slightly tilted, the thick beard and the rich curly hair give the work a monumental and expressive character. The modeling of the hair and beard is particularly articulated, while the surfaces of the face and bust are treated with greater softness, creating an effective contrast between strength, introspection and solemnity.

The subject recalls the traditional iconography of Hercules, and in particular the typology made famous by the Farnese Hercules, one of the most representative models of classical sculpture.

The sculpture, thanks to its substantial dimensions, is particularly suitable as a striking decorative element in interiors—classical, contemporary, professional studios, libraries, galleries, ateliers or collections dedicated to antiquity and the Grand Tour.

The work presents the normal characteristics of plaster and artisanal workmanship, with slight surface irregularities and minimal marks compatible with the material and with the nature of the creation. The photographs constitute an integral part of the description.

Packaging and shipping
Due to its size and especially the fragility of plaster, the sculpture requires professional, specific packaging.

The work will be shipped inside a custom-made wooden crate, with internal protection via panels and foam shapes and shock-absorbing material, designed to immobilize the bust properly and minimize risks during transport.

For this reason, packaging and shipping costs will necessarily be higher than those of standard shipping, as they include the construction of the crate, protective materials and the greater overall volume of the package.

Packaging is an essential part of the shipment and is prepared with the aim of ensuring that the sculpture arrives at its destination in the best possible condition.
