| NOTES | As his name suggests, Antico was inspired by works from antiquity. He based this group on a classical marble of Hercules and Antaeus (now in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence). Antaeus was a giant, invincible so long as part of his body remained on the earth. Hercules used his great strength to hold Antaeus in the air until the giant weakened and died. |
