🔹This work is one of the most significant instances of the completion of ancient statuary in the early modern era. The statue survived from Roman times into the late 16th Century only as the headless body of a Centaur, also missing most of its legs.

Giovanni Caccini (1556-1613) restored the figure of the centaur and created the figure of Hercules virtually from scratch, the feet alone having survived. The group depicts Hercules slaying the Centaur Nessus who had attempted to abduct the hero's wife Deianira after offering to carry her safely across a river in full spate. Original part in white marble from Asia Minor (Docimean); Renaissance additions in Luni marble. Restored in 2015 thanks to the Friends of the Uffizi Galleries Association with a major contribution from the Hercules and Nessus Community.

🌟Original Sculpture Details🌟

Period: Roman and Maniera

🌟Material & Process🌟

Our products are made using high-detail resin-based 3D printing technology. This method ensures a smooth surface and reveals even the finest details with precision.

🌟Post-3D Printing Process🌟

Although our products come out of the machine with all their details intact, these details are not visually striking enough before post-processing. That’s why we apply a primer, white matte paint, and a velvet matte varnish to each piece. This results in high contrast, eliminates glare under light, and enhances the tactile experience.

📌Our products are lightweight due to the 3D printing process. The weight may be surprising when held, as it cannot be accurately judged by appearance alone. Generally, they weigh under 500 grams. Despite their lightness, our 3D printed items are more durable and resistant to impact. If you prefer a heavier product, we can add weight upon request, though this will incur an additional shipping fee. Please contact us for more details.
