Hercules Farnese 1773

"Hercules Farnese" is an engraving by Giuseppe Vasi (1710-1782) depicting the famous marble statue of Hercules, created in the 2nd century BC. Vasi's engraving, created in 1773, shows the sculpture from two different angles. This allows viewers to see the intricate details of the statue’s musculature and the powerful stance of the Greek hero. The engraving is also significant for its depiction of the statue’s setting, which reflects the grandeur of its display in the Farnese Collection in Rome.
