The Farnese Hercules is actually a Roman copy of an even older sculpture attributed to Lysippos, a Greek sculptor who lived during the time of Alexander the Great (and in fact made several portrait busts of the Macedonian king). The Farnese Hercules is named so because after its discovery in the Baths of Caracalla in Rome in 1540, the sculpture was installed within the arcade around the courtyard of the Farnese Palace, also located in Rome. The work now stands in the Italian National Museum in Naples.
