Weary Hercules in the Pitti Palace in Florence
Of the authentic Hercules at Rest sculptures from antiquity, the monumental Farnese Hercules in Naples is arguably in the best condition and artistically the most accomplished. The Medicis had two Carrera marble versions: the 151-cm high “Farnese Hercules” displayed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the 293-cm tall Weary Hercules in the Ammantati Courtyard of the Pitti Palace.
