No title. Hercules strangling the Nemean Lion.

Aquatinta in India ink in sepia color by artist monogramed C.M. (Carlo Molinari)

After the painting by Giulio Romano (1499-1546). Actually: Giulio di Pietro Gianuzzi

This piece of art, probably from a wall or ceiling fresco shows how Hercules mastered the first first of 12 tasks posed to him by King Eurystheos. If he would master all 12 tasks he would be accessed to the Olymp. The Nemean Lion had so thick a skin, that he could not been wounded. After Hercules had tried to kill the Lion with his club, and failed, Hercules strangled it, as is shown on this aquatinta.

Ohne Titel. Herkules erdrosselt den Nemeischen Löwen, die erste von zwölf Aufgaben des Herkules, die er bewältigen muss, um in den Olymp einzuziehen.

Der Nemersche Löwe galt als unverwundbar, weil sein Fell so dick war, dass keine Waffe ihm schaden konnte. Deshalb erdrosselte Herkules den Löwen.

Wahrscheinlich von einem Wand- oder Deckenfresko, das Giulio Romano

Very good condition. The aquatinta in sepia color masterfuly executed.

Sehr guter Erhaltungszustand. Das Aquatinta in Sepia mit der warmen Ausstrahlung typisch für die Sepia-Farbe.
