Descriptive Note
|
Text: The statue was named for Lord Lansdowne,
who once owned the Herakles and displayed it in his
home in London. Herakles standing in contrapposto, holding
his attributes, the skin of the Nemean lion and a club.
This statue was found in Tivoli ca. 1790, in the ruins
of Hadrian's Villa; it was in the collection of the
Marquess of Lansdowne until 1951. It is related in appearance
to works attributed to 4th-century BCE Greek sculptors,
however, the work has an eclectic style that is purely
Roman.
