Description

The Lansdowne Herakles (a Roman marble statue dated to about A.D. 125), in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California. The statue, representing the hero Herakles with his lionskin and club, was discovered in 1790 near the villa of Roman emperor Hadrian in Tivoli, Italy. In 1792, the statue was purchased by the Marquess of Lansdowne. The statue was fragmentary when rediscovered in 1790. It was restored at that time; the restorations were then removed in the 1970s but re-integrated more recently.
