Hercules 💪🏻 for #texturetuesday

This big ass statue of Hercules (Ercole) can be found in Villa Spada. It was made by Bolognese sculptor Giacomo De Maria (1762-1838). In its full form it has Hercules standing and stomping down on a lion. I presume it's a reference the Nemean lion, the first of the 12 labours - but honestly that's just my best guess! ✨
Also, Hercules is the best Disney movie and you all can fight me on this.
🎶 Bless my soul Herc was on a roll... 🎶

This is a low-angle, close-up view of a weathered stone statue of a man against a bright background. (Hercules)
The photograph shows the rough, textured surface of the statue, which is a mottled combination of light beige, brown, and darker grey tones. There is significant wear and tear visible in the eroded details of the stone. Hercules has a muscular physique and detailed rendering of the musculature is visible. The hair on the statue's beard is curly.

Странный ворон, когда уже почти дорисовала, поняла, что сюда лучше бы подошёл тукан из-за большой головы
