Cast of the Farnese Hercules, c.1790

Glycon the Athenian (b. c. 200 AD-c. 250 AD)

Royal Academy

Glycon's Hercules was installed in a courtyard of the Palazzo Farnese and was thus became known as the Farnese Hercules. It shows the hero resting his massive frame upon his club over which is draped the skin of the Nemean lion. Behind his back Hercules holds three of the golden apples which he had stolen from the Garden of the Hesperides. The killing of the Nemean lion was the first of Hercules’s labours, while stealing the apples was one of his last. This cast was made from a marble sculpture executed by Glycon for the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. The Roman marble was made in the early 3rd century AD and was an enlarged copy of a Greek original by Lysippus, dating from the late 4th century BC. The base of the statue is signed by the artist Glykon. The Greek letters on the base explain that the ‘Athenian sculptor Glykon made him’. The Farnese Hercules is one of the RA Casts which has a metal pin protruding from the lower abdomen on which would have been hung a fig leave when the Academy was open for the Summer Exhibition. There were a furore in the press in 1780 when there was much criticism of the casts remaining uncovered because of 'the shameful state of nudity, to the terror of every decent woman who enters the room'. The Morning Post, 6 May 1780.
