The original of the statue is bronze but has been lost, and the extant is a Roman-period marble replica, in several different sizes and versions. One of the most famous replicas is Farnessey Hercules, created in 212 by the sculptor Grikhon and now in the collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Napoli, Italy. The statue depicts Hercules, who has just completed his twelve drudgery, with a haggard face and melancholy eyes, showing his humanity and tragedy.
