EDITORS COMMENTS

The print captures Hercules proudly bearing the remains of the ferocious beast, draped in its skin and holding its open mouth with his right hand. The attention to detail is remarkable as every sinew and muscle on both Hercules and the lion are expertly rendered. The intense expression on Hercules' face reflects his strength and determination, while also revealing a sense of accomplishment for overcoming such a formidable opponent. Bertoldo di Giovanni's skill as a sculptor shines through in this masterpiece. As a pupil of Donatello and the first master of Michelangelo, he was undoubtedly influenced by these great Renaissance artists. This particular work showcases his ability to capture movement and emotion in bronze.
