The Great Hercules or 'Knollenman'

Hendrick Goltzius

Cleveland Museum of Art

A muscular male figure with long hair and a beard, wearing a feathered cape and a crown-like object on his head, stands in a landscape. He has a large head, bulging eyes, and a thick neck. His body is covered in muscles, with prominent abdominal and thigh muscles. He appears to be naked except for the cape. He stands with his feet apart and his right hand touching his groin. The background features rocky terrain, trees, and small figures. The sky is cloudy. The image is in black and white.
