Sculptuur van Hercules 1646 - 1670

This etching, created between 1646 and 1670 by Flemish artist Hubert Quellinus, depicts the classical hero Hercules, standing confidently, his muscular physique a testament to his strength and legendary feats. The image is a study in anatomical detail, showcasing Quellinus's mastery of drawing the human form. The etching is a prime example of 17th-century Baroque art, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, and its focus on realistic depictions of the human body. It is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
