EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible strength and triumph of Hercules, as he proudly displays his victory over the Nemean lion. Created by Italian sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni in 1473, this bronze masterpiece showcases the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. In this particular detail of the artwork, we witness Hercules wearing the skin of the slain beast, a symbol of his bravery and power. With his right hand firmly grasping the open mouth of the lion, Hercules exudes an aura of dominance and control. The intensity in his eyes reflects both determination and satisfaction for having accomplished such a formidable feat. Bertoldo di Giovanni was not only a pupil of Donatello but also had the privilege of being Michelangelo's first master. This fact adds further significance to this artwork as it represents an important link between two legendary artists. Displayed at Galleria e Museo Estense in Modena, Italy, this photograph by Ghigo Roli beautifully captures every intricate detail and texture present in Bertoldo's sculpture. It allows viewers to appreciate not only Hercules' physical prowess but also highlights Bertoldo's mastery in capturing human anatomy with precision. This print serves as a testament to both ancient mythology and artistic excellence that continues to inspire awe even centuries after its creation.
