48271 MSR Hercules Farnese

This is a 3D model of an ancient marble statue in the Musée Saint-Raymond in Toulouse. The statue depicts the demigod and hero Hercules. This small statue follows a sculptural type known as "the Farnese Hercules type," named after the most famous example, the Farnese Hercules in Naples (see [70132 NAP Hercules Farnese](https://skfb.ly/6RnSN)). Here, Hercules rests after many of his miraculous labors. He leans on his club and the Nemean Lion skin, taken from his first labor. **Bibliography**: [Musée Saint-Raymond](https://saintraymond.toulouse.fr/Musee-Saint-Raymond-Toulouse-archaeological-museum_a1081.html) # Ancient World 3D This model posting is part of Ancient World 3D, a project that provides curated 3D open access content for Classical Studies.
