About This Design

Hercules Allegory Poster

Hercules Allegory Poster

CUSTOMIZE IT: choose your size, change the border colour or change the text! Painting detail from the Apotheosis of Hercules by Francois Lemoyne, 1733-1736. Oil on canvas at the Hercules Salon, Grand Apartment in the Palace of Versailles, France. On location by Minerva Bloom. The recently restored ceiling of the Hercules Salon, some 480 square metres of surface area, is one of the largest paintings ever executed. Francois Lemoyne thereby accomplished a veritable feat, for he painted it almost entirely alone during three long years. It earned him the coveted title of First Painter to the King, yet the exhausted artist committed suicide shortly afterwards. The ceiling is not a fresco, because the paint was applied to canvas rather than directly onto plaster. Some 140 figures, representing Olympus, attend the triumphant arrival of Hercules, a hero whose successful labours have raised him to the rank of god (an allusion to the merits of the French king).

My Bible verse postcard, turned out excellent. I love it and have it already framed. It was so reasonably priced for something done so well. Thank you to Zazzle and the artist! I thought it looked exactly like what I ordered. Perfect.

Poster is printed clearly, good quality . Inclusive of many prints . The shipping was the problem. Box was flimsy and item got bent.. only suggestion would have been to put in a canister or mark fragile. Printing was exactly as shown

I am a fan of Ravens and needed to have a poster of my favourite bird. The image quality is sharp.
