The
Farnese Hercules (Italian: Ercole Farnese) is an ancient statue of
Hercules, probably an enlarged copy made in the early third century AD
and signed by Glykon, who is otherwise unknown; he was an Athenian but
he may have worked in Rome. Like many other Ancient Roman sculptures it
is a copy or version of a much older Greek original that was well known,
in this case a bronze by Lysippos (or one of his circle) that would
have been made in the fourth century BC. This original survived for over
1500 years until it was melted down by Crusaders in 1205 during the
Sack of Constantinople. The enlarged copy was made for the Baths of
Caracalla in Rome (dedicated in 216 AD), where the statue was recovered
in 1546, and is now in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples. The
heroically-scaled Hercules is one of the most famous sculptures of
antiquity, and has fixed the image of the mythic hero in the European
imagination.
Photos not upgraded in graphics programs. 3D printed
products have visible stripes along the length. This is the effect of
overlapping subsequent layers of plastic during printing, therefore not
the entire surface of the product is smooth as in plastic products made
by casting. Of course, these stripes do not interfere with the use of
the product and you really have to look closely to see them. We can
print them in any color desired.
