Bronze “hercules And The Lion Of Nemea”, Signed Gregroi – 19th

Bronze with black patina signed by the sculptor Gregroi (19th century) and stamped Antique Bronzes 68. This work represents the end of the very first of the twelve labors of Hercules. If there is a version according to which Hercules, with his own hands, killed the beast by suffocating it in its lair, Gregroi chose to depict Hercules standing, holding the remains of the Nemean Lion in his left hand and in his right hand, the handle of his olive wood club broken during the killing of the animal. This set is presented on an Antique Black marble base. Lovers of mythology will be won over by this faithfully crafted bronze print. ******** Period: 19th Century Excellent condition. Waxed finish.
