Summary
| Description |
Italiano: Ercole cattura la cerva di Cerinea (una delle "dodici fatiche"). Essendo la cerva consacrata ad Artemide, Ercole eseguì l'ordine di catturarla ma senza ucciderla, dopo averla sfiancata nell'inseguimento. Bronzo con funzioni di fontana, di epoca romana, da Pompei, dove era situato al bordo della vasca dell'impluvio nell'atrio della Casa di Sallustio (VI 2, 4), ed è probabile copia di originale lisippeo. Secondo la leggenda la cerva aveva corna d'oro e zoccoli di bronzo, quindi il presente gruppo scultoreo, che è tuttora ravvivato da inserti policromi (negli occhi, nelle labbra), va probabilmente immaginato come originariamente arricchito da dorature e ulteriori placcature in rame rosso. Museo archeologico regionale di Palermo.
English: Hercules to capture the deer Cerinea (one of the "twelve labors"). As the deer dedicated to Artemis, Hercules he executed orders to capture but not kill her after her bulging pursuit. Bronze fountain, Roman, from Pompeii (House of Sallustio (VI 2, 4)), probably a copy from Lysippus. According to legend, the deer had golden horns and hooves of bronze, so this sculpture that is still enlivened with colored inserts (in the eyes and lips), was probably originally conceived as decorated with further gilding and red copper. Regional Archaeological Museum in Palermo. |
