Youthful Hercules with bow and lion skin

Ancient Roman sculpture of Hercules. Unfortunately, many of the sculpture's elements were broken. Rodin was especially proud of a Hercules in his collection, saying: Strength is often allied with grace, and true grace is strong; this Hercules bears witness to this double truth. This was scanned at The 'Rodin and the art of ancient Greece' exhibition at The British Museum, London (26th April - 29th July 2018). The work originates from the Musée Rodin, Paris, where it is on permanent display.
