Lysippos, Farnese Hercules

[@mxrt9626]

I stood next to it a few years ago. That thing is absolutely huge. I'm a tall person but I really felt like a chipmunk. I saw so many amazing things there that day.

[@smaakjeks]

Simply amazing. Breathtaking sculpture.

@@weyauh4338 quite literally. The modern small waist obsession is solely because we're fat and don't understand a bigger waist is like bigger shoulders bit just for the legs.

[@sandysox]

Thank you...feet time I heard where the Heroes came from

[@davidamicus9757]

There were supposed to be only be 10 Labors but because he had help with the Hydra and the Stables those two were discounted thus Hercules had to perform two more.

[@grippimatt]

The 12 labors symbolize the 12 signs of the zodiac

[@Fummy007]

I love this piece. especially the detail of the "lost legs"

[@endor8witch]

incredible masterpiece

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart...

And the size of his biceps, also important.

Hera hated him, and still, he was called Heracles

[@CapnHilts]

Heracles (Hercules) means "Cursed by Hera".

He certainly is holding some apples back there, my goodness.. lol. Until it was mentioned, I didn't see fatigue on him at all. I thought he seemed at ease, but the expression on his face does look pretty weary... I'll try not to remember that part as I exercise today.

It is interesting that Michelangelo used this format for his image of Christ in the Sistine Chapel.

[@chezzy62]

Beautiful video.

[@maymayren]

A lot of copies were made in later age.

[@HenriMesquida]

génial.

[@Mrrossj01]

Color? Paint?

[@levoy4ge]

is this considered to belong to the hellenistic or the late classical style?

[@smarthistory-art-history]

Well, the Hellenistic begins with the death of Alexander in 323 B.C.E. while Lysippos likely lived until 300 B.C.E. So his productive period likely has one foot in the Late Classical and the other in the Hellenistic. One could argue that Lysippos' work was formed during the Late Classical, or you could argue that this may date after the Death of Alexander.

[@doncarlodivargas5497]

The reason why Heracles looking like this is because he is thinking about his poor children

[@mekhane.broken9678]

Man should be thinking about kids while nakey

i find his posture slightly teasing, almost condescending. there's an arrogance there. hiding the apples, gesturing down to whoever was below/next to him.

[@The_Ancient_Guardian]

Well, Hercules.

Kind of makes you think Heracles was a brother of Goliath

Whenever I see this version of Heracles, I feel sad of Heracles of Hadda, 🇦🇫, also known as Vajrapani. It's completely ruined 😔.

[@thenoblepoptart]

Damn that sucks. When was it made? Was it one of those graeco-Bactrian or graeco-Indian statues done in the unique style after Alexander’s conquests?

[@11ops11]

This statue is officially ruined for me 😂

[@Hypnotized81]

I refuse to accept that Lysippos would have create...that! This Glykon who copied it in marble obviously wasn't much of a sculptor.

[@angelabender8132]

I disagree The Romans were faithful sculptors of the faces and bodies of the subject to be depicted and definitely they knew how to work marble To copy does not require creation and it is much easier to do
