Hercules at The Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario

This marble bust depicts the head of a young Hercules, produced in Rome after a Greek work of about 340 BC. This head is of the same type as on the 'Lansdowne Herakles', a statue attributes to the Greek sculptor Skopas. A number of Roman copies exist of this statue or of the head alone exist. The complete herm would have consisted of a 4-cornered pillar topped by the head. This object is part of Scan The World. Scan the World is a non-profit initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory, through which we are creating a digital archive of fully 3D printable sculptures, artworks and landmarks from across the globe for the public to access for free. Scan the World is an open source, community effort, if you have interesting items around you and would like to contribute, email [e-mail] to find out how you can help.本件大理石胸像刻画了青年赫拉克勒斯（Hercules）的头部，是以公元前340年左右的希腊原作为蓝本，在罗马制作而成。该头部造型与归于希腊雕塑家斯科帕斯（Skopas）所作的《兰斯多恩赫拉克勒斯》（Lansdowne Herakles）上的头部属于同一类型，目前存有多件该雕像或仅该头部的罗马复制品。完整的赫尔墨斯式柱（herm）应当由一根四角柱与顶部的头像组合而成。 本展品属于“Scan The World”项目的一部分。“Scan The World”是MyMiniFactory推出的非营利性公益项目，旨在打造全球范围内可完全3D打印的雕塑、艺术品与地标建筑的数字档案库，供公众免费获取使用。该项目采用开源协作模式，依托社区力量推进。若您身边有符合主题的藏品并希望参与贡献，可发送邮件至[e-mail]了解具体参与方式。
