Colossal Sculpted White Marble Head of Hercules in the Manner of the Antique
About the Item
Hercules is portrayed as a bearded man with drops of sweat on his brow.
There are various examples from the ancient world of sculpture executed on a monumental scale, the immense heasd and left foot of the Emperor Constantine, held at the Capitoline Museum in Rome, being obvious examples.
Direct comparison can be made with a collosal Hellinistic marble head of Heracles dating to the first half of the 2nd century B.C. The piece was discovered in a later wall at Pergamon and is now held at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The small head on the pictures does not come with this lot, it is just on the pictures to give an impression of the dimensions.
