Herakles, 2nd Century - The North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, NC

thingiverse

This is a scan of the 2nd century sculpture 'Herakles', currently on display at The North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC. From the site: https://learn.ncartmuseum.org/artwork/herakles/ Excavated in the Roman Forum in 1771, this statue of Greek hero Herakles shows him in one of his less impressive moments. Born to god Zeus and mortal Alcmena, he was famous for twelve superhuman labors. They are hinted at here by the club and lion skin on the tree trunk, reminders of his first task, killing the monstrous lion of Nemea. Herakles, however, is also known for his incredible drinking abilities. The lowered head and advanced right leg suggest that Herakles is carefully making his way, a theory supported by the balancing positions of the restored arms. His parted lips and aged face depict a hero who has seen better days. There are no clues to the specific adventure from which he is recovering, and his career offers many possibilities.
