Note du spécialiste

After the iconic late 16th/early 17th century model by Medici court sculptor Giambologna (1529-1608), this group depicts Deianira, wife of Hercules, struggling to escape the grip of the centaur Nessus, who attempted to abduct her. She was saved by Hercules who killed the centaur by shooting him with a bow and arrow—an action would ultimately lead to both Hercules' and Deianira's deaths.
