Wooden Sculpture Hercules Farnese Grand Tour Early 19th Century
This finely crafted wooden sculpture captures the power and imposing musculature of the Farnese Hercules, one of the most famous representations of the mythological hero.
This sculpture represents the athlete in a moment of rest, leaning on his club draped in the skin of the Nemean lion.
Very beautiful sculpture made of wood whose natural patina and grain variations add warmth and organic texture to the whole work.
The face is finely carved, for modesty, a drape hides his private parts.
Unfortunately some visible accidents and the right hand behind his back holding the apples of the Hesperides is missing. Nevertheless this sculpture is of very good quality.
t is probably an Italian work from the early 19th century for the Grand Tour
Height: 27.5cm
