[PAR] [TLE] Lansdowne Heracles [SEP] The Lansdowne Heracles is a Roman marble sculpture of about 125 CE.  Today it is in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum's "Getty Villa" in Malibu, California.  The statue, representing the hero Heracles as a beardless Lysippic youth grasping the skin of the Nemean lion with his club upon his shoulder, was discovered in 1790 on the site of Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, Italy, where many fine Hadrianic copies and pastiches of Greek sculptures had been discovered since the 16th century.  Today, the sculpture is considered to be an example of Roman-era improvisations on the Greek sculptural style of the fourth century BCE than a copy of a specific Greek original. [PAR] [TLE] Getty Villa [SEP] The Getty Villa is one of two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum.  Located at the easterly end of the Malibu coast in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, USA, the Getty Villa is an educational center and museum dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria.  The collection has 44,000 Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities dating from 6,500 BC to 400 AD, including the Lansdowne Heracles and the Victorious Youth.  The UCLA/Getty Master’s Program in Archaeological and Ethnographic Conservation is housed on this campus.  The collection is documented and presented through the online GettyGuide as well as through audio tours.
