Pollaiuolo – Hercules and Antaeus

This bronze sculpture, named Hercules and Antaeus, was made by Antonio Del Pollaiuolo ca. 1475. I like this artwork because it well illustrated the pain and the struggle of an individual in combat. This feature ultimately reveals that the artist did comprise humanism, an important concept of Renaissance era, into his sculpture.
