EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Hercules Cerberus Hercules grasps collar two demons" we are transported back to ancient times, witnessing one of the legendary labors of Hercules. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in 1608, this print is a testament to his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The scene depicted here showcases Hercules bravely confronting the fearsome Cerberus, a three-headed dog guarding the gates of the Underworld. With his immense strength and determination, Hercules firmly grasps the collar of two demons that accompany Cerberus on his left side. The intensity in their expressions reveals an epic struggle between good and evil. Measuring at approximately 5 3/8 x 6 13/16 inches (137-173 cm), this etching captures every intricate line and texture with precision. Tempesta's mastery shines through as he expertly renders each figure and element within the composition. As we gaze upon this piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the rich mythology surrounding Hercules' twelve labors - tasks assigned to him as punishment for killing his wife and children during a fit of madness. This particular labor highlights both Hercules' physical prowess and his ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. With its historical significance, artistic excellence, and powerful narrative, "Hercules Cerberus Hercules grasps collar two demons" is truly a remarkable addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
