Artistic appreciation of yard Hercules marble:

Hercules has been fighting frequently throughout his life, and all his achievements are remarkable, so the author uniquely selected the plot of his break to express this great hero. The human body in the yard Hercules marble statue is curved, with the left leg supporting the weight of the body, the left arm leaning on the pillar, and the right arm backing behind the body. This kind of changeable posture formed a more relaxed atmosphere. Although the characters are in a relaxed state, they are still extremely strong, and the seemingly calm body seems to contain tremendous power. The sculpting of the muscles in the yard Hercules marble statue is very exaggerated. Whether it is the volume of the muscles or the sense of power it exhibits, they have reached a saturated state, and it seems that powerful energy can be exploded at any time. The processing of the shape is not chaotic because of the exaggeration of the muscles, but the front and side turns are distinct, forming a solid and powerful overall shape. From the yard Hercules marble statue, we can also see Lisips’s human aesthetic view that the length of the head is one-eighth of the body. This proportion has a profound impact on later sculpture art.
