Gallic Hercules Pierre Puget

The hero Hercules is depicted at rest after completing his labours. His back rounded and his muscles loose, he sits on the skin of the Nemean lion, holding his club and the golden apples he has stolen from the garden of the Hesperides. Puget probably executed this work during his stay in Genoa (Italy). It was acquired after 1670 by Jean Baptiste Colbert, one of the chief ministers of King Louis XIV, to decorate the gardens of his chateau at Sceaux (near Paris).

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
