Description
Glory, in the guise of a young woman holding a small statue of Fame on a globe in her left hand, crowns Hercules, recognisable by his club, the hide of the Nemean lion, an apple from the garden of the Hesperides, and dragon at his feet. Through Hercules, the sculptor pays homage to King Louis XIV. This reception piece was presented to the Royal Academy of Painting Sculpture on 28 March 1671.
