Sculpture, Maschera Ercole Farnese - 50 cm - Plaster

Farnese Hercules bust – plaster cast (positive)

Important plaster cast depicting the face of the Farnese Hercules, derived from a mold made directly from the original kept at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.

The monumental face of Hercules, with a thick beard, curly hair, and intense features, preserves all the sculptural force of the famous ancient model. The surface bears the characteristic irregularities proper to the casting process, underscoring its character as a plaster study piece and a sculptural study room piece.

A work of great decorative presence, suitable both for a classical art collection and for a contemporary interior.
