# Hercules and Antaeus [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GIAMBOLOGNA]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Bronze, height 51 cm ## Commentary Following Vincenzo de' Rossi's example, Giambologna executed some of the scenes from the series of twelve labours of Hercules. However, by contrast to De' Rossi, he never had any intention of finishing a whole series. The first two scenes from the cycle he chose to treat those showing the hero's battle with the centaur and with the giant Antaeus. ## Related artworks - [Abduction Scene]() - [Allegory of Astronomy]() - [Allegory of Francesco I de' Medici]() - [Allegory of Prince Francesco I de Medici]() - [Altar of Liberty]() - [Altar of Liberty]() - [Angel]() - [Apollo]() - [Appenine \(detail\)]() - [Appenine]() - [Appenine]() - [Architecture]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
