Eracle

Heracles, or Hercules: one of the most famous Demigods born from the union of Zeus (Jupiter) with Alcmena, is represented here with reference to the famous statue, Hercules and Lica, made by Antonio Canova between 1795 and 1815, and today preserved in the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome.

A deliberate choice of contrasting bold, bright colours in this painting recalls graphites and street art style imagery.
