NECIS HERCULEAE - New Contemporary Myth Portrait

10/17/2017

0 Comments

 
The title of this painting translates from Latin as "The Death of Hercules". In bold streaks of black and fiery blasts of color, I sought to capture the demise of the hero - a tale full of trickery, suspicion, and agony, but ultimately enlisting the mysteries of fate and the ascension to godhood.
