Bronze “Hercules and the Nemean Lion”, signed Gregroi – 19th century

About the Item

Bronze with a 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. While there is a version according to which Hercules killed the beast with his own hands by suffocating it in its lair, Gregroi chose to depict Hercules standing, holding in his left hand the remains of the Nemean Lion and in his right hand, the handle of his olive wood club, broken during the animal's killing. This ensemble is presented on a Black Antique marble base. Mythology lovers will be captivated by this faithfully crafted bronze sculpture. ******** Period: 19th century Excellent condition.
