Descrizione

Reproduction of Farnese Hercules Carrara made in PLA and 3D printed with additive technique. This work faithfully reproduces the 3rd century sculpture. AD found in Rome and preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Naples.

Hercules (in Greek mythology Heracles) symbolizes the triumph of courage and human strength. The sculpture represents Hercules at rest, tired after the last of the twelve labors in the garden of the Hesperides. Precisely his impossible feats on him were the emblem of the ability to save men in different situations.

Historical Features 

The sculpture evokes the final phase of the Twelve Labors of Hercules, showing the hero caught in a moment of rest after completing the eleventh effort: having managed to get hold of the golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides (visible in the right hand).

Discovered in Rome at the Baths of Caracalla (212/216 AD).

The twelve works have always represented the clash between man and nature, an expression of divinity in its wildest and most terrible form: Heracles is considered a symbol of courage, moral rigour, strength accompanied by cunning, physical activity (founder of the Olympic Games) and figure of salvation and redemption of humanity from divine cruelty.

The fascinating figure of the Greek hero had great veneration in antiquity, so much so that it was replicated by the greatest artists and reproduced in different sizes and materials (bronze, marble, terracotta, stone, ivory).

In the Greco-Roman era, reproductions were widespread and in high demand. This is evidenced by the countless surviving statues copied in marble from now lost bronze originals.

In ancient times, the difference between original and copy had no role in relation to the function of copies and the context in which they were placed.

The same bronze originals, since they were born from a mechanical repetition of the matrix, are paradoxically more "serial" compared to the marble copies in which the reproduction requires the intervention of the chisel.

Likewise, 3D scanning and printing guarantee more fidelity to the original than any marble copy.

A reasonable approximation of the original, that is very well done. Thank you.

Zu leicht. Nicht sehr wertig. Zu teuer. Zu viele Mails beim Bestellprozess. Abwicklung und Verpackung jedoch sehr gut.
