| Description: |
Grand Tour Glass Cast Impression of a Mythological Scene. On the right, Hercules seated on his lion skin with the club, hands tied behind his back; next to it a double human face like a gryllos. On the left, a standing female figure, probably Dejanira (?) with an Erote riding a creature (a chip prevents the complete reading of the scene). Above, another Erote with a lyre. Probably a Renaissance allegory of the triumph of the Love. The model seems to be inspired by an ancient intaglio from the Granducal Collection called "Sigillo di Nerone" with Apollo and Marsyas. The glass impression instead seems to be stylistically after a Renaissance stone. Intact, exc. cond. Custom lucite display base. |
