專家說明
The print of 'Hercules between Virtue and Vice' derives from a painting commissioned from Paola de Matteis in 1712 by Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury and sold by the 10th Earl of Shaftesbury, Christie's London, 27 June 1980, lot 149. The Earl was the author of A Notion of the Historical Draught of Hercules, 1713, and his painting was intended to awaken British taste for Italian art. It was engraved in 1713 by Simon Gribelin and served as the frontispiece to Shaftesbury's The Judgement of Hercules in Charackteristics, 1737, vol. III, p. 347.
