Description

HERCULES WITH A CLUBNorthern Italy, ca. 1600.Bronze patinated brown. Hercules with a club, the left foot resting on a severed head. On a triangular base, the corners decorated with winged female busts. On cloven feet.H 32 cm.The iconographic identification of this unusual subject is not entirely clear. The calm, heroic pose of the bearded man with the long club points to the hero Hercules, whereas the severed head on which the hero's foot rests rather points to the Biblical episode of David against Goliath. Possibly, it is an episode from the 12 Labors of Hercules handed down by Virgil: Hercules, who after his Tenth Labor drove the cattle of Geryon through the territory of present-day Italy, stopped for a break near Cacus' cave. Cacus, a giant, stole Hercules' cattle, but this did not go unnoticed by the hero. After a grueling fight, he slew the giant with his club.---------------HERKULES MIT KEULENorditalien, um 1600.Bronze braun patiniert. Herkules mit Keule, den linken Fuss auf einem abgetrennten Kopf. Auf Dreiecksockel, die Ecken mit geflügelten Frauenbüsten und Huffüssen.H 32 cm.Die ikonographische Identifizierung dieses ungewohnten Sujets ist nicht gänzlich geklärt. Die ruhige, heroische Pose des bärtigen Mannes mit der Langkeule deutet auf den Helden Herkules hin, wohingegen der abgetrennte Kopf, auf dem der Fuss des Heros ruht, eher die biblische Episode des David gegen Goliath zitiert. Womöglich handelt es sich um eine von Vergil überlieferte Episode aus den Heldentaten des Herkules: Herkules, der nach seiner zehnten Tat die Rinder des Geryon durch das Gebiet des heutigen Italien trieb, machte in der Nähe von Cacus’ Höhle Rast. Cacus, ein Riese, stahl Herkules Rinder, was vom Helden aber nicht unbemerkt blieb. Nach einem strapaziösen Kampf erschlug er den Riesen mit seiner Keule.
