Description:
|
|
According to the inscription, it is probably a version [enlarged] of a work by Lysippos or his school (original ca. 4th century BCE). The version was made in the 3rd century CE for the Baths of Caracalla in Rome (dedicated in 216 CE), where it was found in 1546. Glykon was a Greek working in Rome. The head and legs have been restored at various times. The rediscovered statue quickly made its way into the collection of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, grandson of Pope Paul III. The Farnese statue was moved to Naples in 1787 with most of the Farnese Collection and is now displayed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale. The statue portrays Hercules leaning on his club with the skin of the Nemean lion and holding the apples of the Hesperides. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
