헤라클레스와 아켈로오스

Attributed to the Master of the Martyrdom of St. Sebastian Austrian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 537

헤라클레스의 위업은 조각가들에게 미묘한 행동에서 남성 인물의 힘을 탐구할 수 있는 기회를 제공하였습니다. 완전히 원형으로 조각된 이 대형 단체는 신화의 영웅과 인간에서 황소, 그리고 다시 뱀으로 변신한 강의 신 아켈로오스 간의 분투를 나타냅니다. 이 작품은 로마의 사수들에게 습격당하는 초기 기독교인 성 세바스티아노를 묘사하는 두 개의 대형 구조 장면을 조각했던 익명의 미술가의 것입니다. 이 영리한 조각가의 작품은 격렬하고 과장된 동작과 극단적인 감정, 그리고 신체 세부에 대한 광신적인 묘사의 특징을 나타냅니다.
