Farnese Hercules, From Behind, Large Grand Tour Albumen Print in Original Sleeve black cloth ball One of my favorite facesThere is a dealer at an antique mall near Boston I frequent who has been doling out late 19th century Grand Tour albumen prints of sculptures in the collection of the Napoli Museo (National Archaeological Museum of Naples) a few at a time; I keep snapping them up, of course how to resist this view of Hercules??? With apples from the garden of Hesperides in his very large hand, which makes them look the size of walnuts:) and the skin of the Nemean lion
