EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief sculpture flanked by figures of the legendary hero, Hercules. Created by renowned artists Charles Le Brun and Louis Surugue in 1713, this black-and-white etching engraves the Apotheosis of Hercules into our visual memory. The upper part of the relief depicts Hercules triumphantly holding the hind of Ceryneia and the fearsome Erymanthean boar. With his muscular physique and determined expression, he exudes strength and valor. The intricate details bring these mythical creatures to life, capturing their wild essence. In contrast, the lower section portrays Hercules alongside two other formidable challenges he faced during his epic adventures. Here we see him standing tall with the mighty Cretan bull on one side while taming a horse belonging to Diomedes on the other. These scenes symbolize his unparalleled bravery as he conquers seemingly insurmountable tasks. Le Brun's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every stroke, showcasing his ability to capture movement and emotion within static stone. Surugue's skillful engraving further enhances this artwork's depth and texture. This print invites us to marvel at Hercules' extraordinary feats while appreciating the artistic prowess behind its creation. It serves as a testament to human imagination and creativity throughout history—a timeless reminder that heroes can transcend time through artistry.
