Hercules Resting (recto), 1595-1597. Creator: Annibale Carracci (Italian, c. 1560-1609)
Hercules Resting (recto), 1595-1597. During a temporary state of madness, Hercules murdered his wife and children. To atone for his crime, he was required to perform twelve labors. In this final study for a fresco of this subject commissioned by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese for the ceiling of his study in his familys Roman palace, Hercules rests, surrounded by evidence of his toil. The heros pose and exaggerated musculature are a result of the artists intense study of ancient models and are meant to emulate antique sculpture in the Farnese household and other Roman collections
