Hercules II


Our second appearance of the day by Hercules is a terra cotta statuette
by Dutchman Willem van Tetrode from about 1555.  It is one
of the most interesting renderings of the hero that I've seen.

  1. We should bring back bodybuilders recreating Hercules, except do it properly nude.

  2. This is brilliant. The brown/natural toning (and glorious, curly beard) is wonderful too.
