For this week’s assignment, I have selected The Belvedere Torso. It is a marble statue of a tall and muscular man from the 1430s. This fragment of the statue was found in Rome in the 15th century. The sculpture holds multiple perceptions and myths attached to it. The sculpture is also believed to be Heracles, who is known as a divine hero in Greek Mythology. It is observed that Heracles is seated on an animal hide, skin of the Nemean lion.
