Marble Statue of a Youthful Herakles in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007

Marble Statue of a Youthful Herakles in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007
Marble statue of a youthful Hercules
Roman, Flavian period, 68-98 AD
Restorations made during the early 17th century: head and neck, right arm below the shoulder, left arm and shoulder, right leg below the knee, left leg, tree trunk, club, and plinth.

Accession # 03.12.13

This staue was part of the collection of antiquities assembled in Rome by the Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani during the first third of the 17th century. It must have been made as one of a pair with the over-life-sized statue of a bearded Hercules displayed across the courtyard.

Text exerpted from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
