Created by an unknown artist in the 16th century, this bronze statue embodies the strength and power of Greek mythology's most iconic hero, Hercules. Displayed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this Florentine artwork is a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage. The Farnese Hercules stands tall and proud, its muscular form meticulously crafted with incredible attention to detail.
