Child Hercules in marble sculpted in the... - Lot 97 - Coutau-Bégarie
Child Hercules in marble sculpted in the round on a stucco base. Lying on a sheet along a rock, he smothers the snake sent to kill him. Italy, 17th century L. : 28 cm (broken, glued back) Hercules, born of the love of Jupiter and Alcmene, arouses the jealousy of Juno, Jupiter's deceived wife. She sends snakes to kill him but Hercules, already endowed with spectacular strength and courage, suffocates the reptiles, already announcing the works that will make him heroic.
