赫拉克勒斯和阿刻罗俄斯

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

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 537

赫拉克勒斯的功绩让历代雕塑家有机会一探男性人物在复杂行动中表现出来的力量。这件大型圆雕表现出这位神话英雄和阿刻罗俄斯搏斗的情景，后者是一位从人形变成公牛又变成毒蛇的河神。据信，这件作品的制作者是一位无名艺术家，他曾雕刻两件大型浮雕，描绘早期基督徒圣塞巴斯蒂安被罗马弓箭手袭击的场景。这位善于创新的雕刻家的作品特点是暴力夸张的动作，极端的情感，以及近乎狂热的身体细节刻画。
