Il nudo maschile nell'arte italiana -- gruppo: Ercole e Caco -- incisione

Speranza

Beham, (Hans) Sebald (1500-1550): Hercules killing Cacus at his cave, from The Labours of Hercules (1542-1548). Engraving, 1545. B.104, P.102. 2 X 2 7/8 inches, possibly i/iv. A very good, strong impression, the area around Cacus somewhat dryer than the rest of the image (possibly characteristic of the print), with thread margins.
