About this one
Hercules and his shadow
Bandinelli’s Hercules and Cacus has stood outside the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence since the 1530s. Most people photograph the marble. Late in the day the sun drops low enough to throw him across the rough stone beside it.
That’s the picture: gold stone, deep blue sky and a giant dark figure on the wall, standing where nobody put him.
Warm and dramatic. Made for a tall wall.
