专家说明

This depiction of Hercules is based on a Greek 4th century B.C. sculpture by Lysippos known as the Farnese Hercules, which is known to modern audiences from the 3rd century A.D. copy in the National Museum in Naples. Colloquially known as the "Weary" Hercules, the type shows the hero resting after the completion of his twelfth and final labor.
