Description:The Lansdowne Herakles is a Roman copy of a Greek prototype that was found in the ruins of Hadrian’s villa at Tivoli. It was named for Lord Lansdowne, who once owned the work and displayed it in his home in London.For many years J. Paul Getty considered the sculpture the most important antiquity in his museum.
