BackgroundTitle Hercules and Antaeus,
bronze sculpture Artist Antonio Pollaiuolo Year created 1475 in the Bargello, Florence. This is a fight between Hercules and antaeus where antaeus claimed to be the most powerful person and challenged Hercules during the fight Hercules found antaeus power was coming from the ground through his feet and Hercules picked him up and had to keep him up to win This piece is between Hercules and antaeus this piece is originally to represent the fight they had where antaeus had almost unstoppable power and would challenge anyone he could Hercules came through one day and challenged him and was loosing until he realized that antaeus power came from the ground and so he picked him and could not let him touch the ground in order to win this relates to my story because every match is different and you have to learn change and adapt in the moment to win matches and sometimes the first one to learn the others weakness and expose it effectively will win the match and i have to try and find it in seconds so i can win or i wont |
BackgroundTitle athlete wrestling a python
Artist frederic lord, leighton Date made 1877 Composition bronze This picture has many meaning and one that I liked was that was that the man was wrestling with a demon but the reason this is not liked by some because the snake does not have very demon like features and is just a snake Some say this piece was to show wrestling with internal demons but the lack of the evil in the snake kind of takes that away but I think it is and that is so important to be able to handle your internal problems to win that is the most important part because you can be strong and fast and everything but if you don’t believe you can do it |
