At first glance, the Hercules and the Hydra sculpture is easy to pass by.

I have always had an interest in the Victorian time in England. Though it is odd, I also have a fascination for crime novels and television shows. Stories of Sherlock Holmes and the later Hercule Poirot were interesting and caught my attention at a young age.

The other book I read was Invention of…

His great feats of strength and epic victories in battle were what earned him this title, but why give such a moniker to a hero whose personal life told a story of alcoholism and senseless violence?

The sculpture itself portrays Hercules performing the eleventh of…

On “Hercules Delivering Prometheus” and its Frame Constraints Many artworks are confined to a frame that limits the viewers’ eye or allows for their interpretation beyond its boundaries. The audience is either forced to analyze the present material or search outside for another meaning. Lespingola’s “Hercules Delivering Prometheus” embodies an abundance of intensity and dynamism that threatens to overcome its constraints, and envelops the viewer in its power. Hence, the bronze statue breaks its…
