COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
J. Leeuwenberg and W. Halsema-Kubes, Beeldhouwkust in het Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1973, no. 209.
Les bronzes de la couronne, exh. cat., Paris, 1999, nos. 58 and 317.
W. Seipel, ed. Giambologna: Triumph des Körpers, Vienna, 2006, no. 13.
Giambologna's original model, from which the more monumental later versions all derive, is that in the Bargello (Seipel, op. cit.). Hercules appears to be either ready to strike the dragon or the three-headed beast Cerberus, now missing from the composition. There were versions of both in the Royal French collections and are close to Giambologna's model, despite some minor differences. The latter is attributed to Antonio Susini or his workshop and with Cerberus having been separated from the figure of Hercules since the 19th century and now in the Louvre while Hercules, sold Parke-Bernet, New York, 26 March 1970, lot 201, remains in a private collection (Bronzes..., loc. cit.).
Another version is in the Rijksmuseum and a third, from the San Giorgi Collection, Rome, was sold Sotheby's, Amsterdam, 8 December 1997, lot 521.
The Hall version, extreme in its muscularity, differs also slightly from all of the above in that the proper left hand of Hercules is clenched, perhaps with a rock, while in the other versions the hand is open or holds some remnants of thunderbolts.
