Cornelius Vermeule’s Four Statuary Types, as attested by approximately
50 copies:
"The Weary
Herakles
of Lysippos," American Journal of Archaeology 79, 1975, pp. 323-332
(see text of his article on e-reserve for this class; click both
on "Weary" and on "Herakles",
as the article is in two parts)
Group One,
closest to Lysippan prototype in Sikyon (see Vermeule p. 325; photos from
Vermeule pl. 51, figs. 1, 2 and 3a, and pl. 52, fig. 3b)
|

| Group
Two, "close in many respects to Group One" (see Vermeule, pp.
325-326; photos of Vermeule p. 325, nos. 9 and 1A, and pl. 52, figs. 4a,
4b and 4c). According to Vermeule, copies from this group based on Pergamene
prototype of ca. 200 B.C., but prototype may be earlier, i.e. from late
4th or 3rd century B.C. |
 |
Group
3, with thicker, more muscular physique (see Vermeuele pp. 326-327;
photos of Vermeule nos. 1 and 3). According to Vermeuele, copies from this
group based on late Hellenistic or Roman Imperial prototype, but prototype
may be earlier, i.e. 2nd century B.C. |
 |
| Group
4, consisting of Weary Heracles type with portrait heads of Commodus (Roman
Emperor 180-192) and Septimius Severus (Roman Emperor 193-211); these Emperors
"made the cult of Herakles an instrument of Roman imperial, pan-Mediterranean
policy" (Vermeule p. 327; photo of Heracles as Commodus from Palatine
Hill, Rome, in Palazzo Pitti, Florence). |
